Springboks: Duane Vermeulen called in as reinforcement
Rassie Erasmus, who gave a frank assessment of his side’s “embarrassing performance” against Argentina on Saturday, has wasted no time taking action. According to reports, Duane Vermeulen has been drafted in to join the squad for the Rugby Championships as the Springboks embark on the Australasia leg of the competition. The Boks will have a week off before travelling to Brisbane to play Australia and then darting across to Wellington for a clash against the rampant All Blacks. Rapport said over the weekend that Vermeulen will join the side for the New Zealand Test. Prior to the competition, it was understood that the player would miss the Rugby Championship because of his contractual obligations with Japanese club side, the Kubota Spears. According to reports, though, Vermeulen will be released as Erasmus looks for ways to engineer an upset.

@stargazer Heard nothing on Taufua, but I'm not optimistic.
Doubt Taufua will be back this year.
