Daniel Johannes 'Duane' Vermeulen (born 3 July 1986)〔(Duane Vermeulen player profile ) ESPN Scrum.com〕 is a South African rugby union player, who plays for French Top 14 side , having previously represented Western Province provincially and the in the Super Rugby. ==Career== Vermeulen plays as a Number eight but he is equally adept at playing both blindside and openside flanker. He began his career in the Free State, playing for the Free State Cheetahs in the Currie Cup and the Vodacom Cheetahs in the Super 14. He eventually followed his former coach Rassie Erasmus and joined the much larger and more competitive Western Province rugby union in 2009 after three seasons with the Free State. Although putting in some strong displays for the Stormers in the 2010 Super 14 season, where the Stormers made it all the way to the final, and looking like being a certain selection for the Springboks, Vermeulen was not called into the Springbok squad that faced Wales, Italy and France. He was also omitted from the Springboks 2010 Tri Nations Series squad. Before his first full international cap, he represented South Africa at the second level of international rugby, appearing for the Emerging Springboks. The highlight of his appearances for the Emerging Boks was being a part of the squad that performed well against the British and Irish Lions, holding them to a 13–13 draw during their tour to South Africa in 2009. After a stand out Currie Cup domestic Rugby Season, Vermeulen was named as part of the 39-man preliminary training squad ahead of the 2010 end of year grand slam tour to the Northern Hemisphere. He was once again overlooked for selection in the final squad. Injuries plagued Vermeulen's 2011 and early 2012 seasons, however, after playing just 9 games of Super Rugby, was selected as part of Heyneke Meyer's squad for the away leg of the Rugby Championship. Vermeulen has twice won the Currie Cup, in 2007 with Freestate and in 2012 with Western Province. In 2014, he was one of five nominees for the IRB Player of the Year award. He was then named captain of the Stormers for the 2015 Super Rugby season. Whilst out with a neck injury, in June 2015 Vermeulen flew to France to be unveiled as a post-2015 Rugby World Cup signing for Top 14 club RC Toulonnais.〔http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/Super15/Stormers-stunned-at-Duanes-unveiling-20150619〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Duane Vermeulen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
