Top player. His post-contact metres, momentum-stopping hits in defence, incredible ability to jackal for a bloke of his size, defensive organisation, and soft hands made him one of the best 8s of recent times. Great compilation too, thank you 👌
Absolute genius of a player. Had everything as a number 8. That pass behind the back against Wales is one of the greatest passes I've ever seen (especially at such a high pressure moment).
Legend! 🇿🇦
What about that pass to Pietersen? My personal favourite.
Been watching Duane since 2010 when he played for Stormers. Delighted to see him win his first cap in 2012.
Always a leader, setting the example. Could easily have captained the Springboks for many years.
Injuries couldn't hold him back, always gave 110%
Thank you Duane for service 💪🇿🇦💚
One of the BEST nr.8s to ever play the game. Not just the physicality but he has amazing game reading ability... Absolute GENIUS player
This man was an absolute gem in the RWC Final, wreaking all manner of havoc. Well done, you big bastard!
I think it was 2014 when Vermeulen had a superhuman performance against the All Blacks while playing with fractured ribs if I'm not mistaken. It was one of the most dominant displays from a single player in the history of rugby. Obviously age caught up with him in his last few years of playing but it shows how phenomenal he used to be when he could decline and yet still be good enough for international rugby. He finishes as a 2x World Cup winner and goes down as the best Springbok number 8 and arguably the best number 8 of all time. Thank you Thor for your service to SA Rugby. Legend!
What a legend my all time favourite rugby player by far lots of love Duane.
By far one if the best rugby player the world has seen...live this man to bits.. he's a all guy or nothing...and for sure...the all type
Came here to see that run into the ABs defense in the WC final. That was some rock n roll! Pity not here
Vermulen must be one of if not the greatest jackler of all time - what a phenomenal player, will go down as an absolute legend of Springbok and international rugby
True Warrior over the ball!
One of the best 8's to ever play the game
Following another mamoth 8th man Pierre Spies.
thank you Duane.
he played with Habana and co, shows how long the man has been around. dankie bafo 🏆🏆🇿🇦
Top video Andrew. You should've seen him in his early days at the Cheetahs. He was unreal.
Can imagine lol. That's why Rassie took him with to WP 😂
1:01 shocker of an assist.
Wales were so close to winning but Duane pulled this amazing pass off. Hard to image watching this game as a welsh fan.
Going to miss this absolute legend... Best #8
Going to miss this man 😢
An absolutely immense rugby player - a test match animal! Did more for the Springboks in the last two games of the world cup than he did for Ulster the entire season haha
because he played where he belonged(with south africans) only we know how to play with him
@@JinxRugby Also cos he's 37 - his prime was 2012-2019
@@aleccastro4761 true true but still so great at 37
My most favourite Springbok number 8, he has surpassed other great Springboks, 2 World Cups medals and the unsung Hero ❤
i must admit i had my questions surrounding vermeulen starting over wiese in the knockouts given he's lost his attacking bite with age, but that man's defensive ability not only with physicality but in commanding his forwards is absolutely indespensible to this team and i doubt we'd have won again without him (not to mention he still put in some brutal running in that final). hope to see him straight into the coaching box!
One of the best in the game…!!!
What a Legend,best no 8 in the world.Ons gaan jou mis ou Dwayne.
Best 8 for SA ever. Quite simply. And we have had some giants of the game wear that jersey
Take a bow, what a career this blok has had. 3 world cups, two times winnaar and one bronze medal, man of the match in the last World Cup final. Al ost never had a bad game in the Bok jersey.
One of the best 8s of all time. Generational talent.
Dam never saw that hand off on Ardie , was nice 🔥
Lord Commander Duane Vermeulen
Simple: South Africa's Best Number 8 of All Time
100% will struggle to replace him
Awesome compilation, as always Andrew. What a player!
Duane Vermeulen! What a Player Man. I'm Glad he went out in a BANG!
This man would excel at both rugby League and in the NFL he is built for massive contact and shutting down plays.
Speechless duanne wat a bulldozer...led with gutso dankie meneer
How tf did us shitters at ulster aquire this machine for a few years. Loved watching him play in person, sad to see him go
The best number 8 of all time
I take my hat off for this man. He surpassed such good players like Pierre Spies, Ryan Kankoski & Danie Rossouw as an all time great No.8 What a legend
Best number 8 ever
Hanro Liebenberg should be on the bok radar would make a great 8 for the boks till the WC of 2027
100% agreeee !!
I am surprised you didn't go with Duane 'Thormeulen'
Dankie Duane
As a south african im gutted he didnt make 100cap milestone hes deserves it. 75+ caps 2x world cup winner
Gaan rus lekker ou Duane. Jy is sekerlik die beste 8steman wat RSA ooit opgelewer het. Hard soos klip,menigte ouens op hul gat laat sit en blerrie vreesloos. Moes n nagmerrie wees om jou van voor te tackle!
Ons sal nog n braaitjie hou maat. Jy groot rol gespeel in die wen van beide world cups as dit nie die grootste was nie. Ek oordryf nie,het ook nr 8 gespeel so ek ken bietjie maar NIKS soos jy nie ou reus. Mag God jou en jou familie seen in jou "aftrede". Weet julle klomp stoutgatte sal nou meer spasie he vir braai...Which is fair ou bul.
Dankie Duane en God seen. 🙏🏻😎🎉🥂🕊️😇
Ancestors smile
Brilliant no 8
Late bloomer at test level (think what could have been if they chose Duane over Spies) POTM 2019 final vs England, huge performance vs France 2023 and set to become a defence coach next
Spies was a different kinda beast in his prime unmatched
@@JinxRugby he was ok. Never put his body on the line the way Duane, Schalk, Juan Smith did and never fine tuned any one skill to a world class level
@@Goisis88 Spies was the best 8 in his prime my honest opinion...dide had speed...scored tries....ran people over...and was a great defender..Duane was the leader a powerhouse and defense God....they are my 2 favorite is they are both the GOATs of 8s
@@JinxRugby who do you see inheriting the 8 for Bokke?
@@Goisis88 Evan Roos is the top contender for that spot currently bro is a beast but there is also other guys that can grow for that spot for now i say Evan Rops if i recall Elrich Louw can also be om the bench for 8 while Evan takes the field but however Elrich is great flanker.im a bulls fan but for me Evan Roos gonna become the best 8 soon much much soon and for you ?
What separates Vermeulen from Big hitters is that he doesnt just make 1 or 2 big tackles in a game, he damn near makes 20 tackles a game with half of them being momentum stopping hits, His tackle rate is really second to none and on top of that he's a menace at the breakdown too, a devastating Ball carrier that punches holes in the most organized defenses with a very high work rate and an Elite Rugby IQ....Duane is By far is rugby's greatest enforcer
GOAT No 8!
Duane, 'RUN IT STRAIGHT', Vurmeulen
When the God of Thunder plays Rugby you know its gonna be Awesome!!! 😀😀😀😀
Watching this before World Rugby takes it down for inclusion of like three rwc clips🤦🏼♂️
I hope Evan Roos can fill the shoes
Surely the tackle Duane Vermeulen made on Rob Valentini in this year RC should have made the cut.
You know the one where Rob Valentini kind of hands himself off to the floor. That hand off of his would have sent 95% of the population flying, the other 4.9% no where, but the 0.1% which Duane is in made his hand off send him to the floor.
Apologies, must have missed it!
@@AndrewDavidForde TAS analytics was the only video I could find that had it. It’s titled Duane Vermeulen workhorse.

@2:32, there’s a slow mo of it from the game which looked far better.
The man is a battering ram wow. Never shying away from contact
0:25 what game was that? Who won after that late penalty?
2nd game vs New Zealand in 2021 - South Africa went to the corner and got a penalty in front of the posts and won.
@AndrewDavidForde great, thanks bud. Gonna watch those highlights now
Hows an 8 smashing a prop,wow reminds of Keirsn Read smashing Jannie du Plessis
Duane Vermeulen was the only non-South African born Springbok in RWC23.
Born in Nelspruit?
@@AndrewDavidForde
He was born in a cave in Norway and is a citizen of Asgard.
@@AndrewDavidForde
OK, I'LL explain - you call Duane Vermeulen 'Thor' ...
"The Cave of Thor is an unofficial appellation referring to a fictional location featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is generally seen in stories relating to the origin of the superhero deity, Thor Odinson (son of Odin).
The cave is located in the mountains in the Western region of Norway. In the continuity of the Marvel Universe, it is here that Odin Borson came to Earth and mated with Jord (Gaea) who gave birth to his son, Thor."
Do Jonny May please
Faf De klerk tribute?

A test animal
Richie Mo'unga soon?Please

If you can get past Duane, you are lucky. If you can stop him, good luck and after that better check how many broken bones your team have.
england no9 had poor tackling skills.....go around the legs
Lol this is the same old man who was flattened in a tackle by Eliot Daly (no 11) in the SF v England which SA were soooo lucky to scrape through. 😂
yes he's the same old man that won 2 world cups
@@subbie5498 past it and fat
