SA hard man Duane Vermeulen has consoled Rohan Janse van Rensburg after having sent his fellow Springbok sprawling with a powerful fend on Saturday.
The collision between the two Bok heavyweights was a highlight in an overall colossal performance from Vermeulen, as he led Ulster to a 31-24 bonus-point win against the Sharks in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash in Durban.
The veteran No 8 handed off the one-Test-capped centre with ease after storming away from a breakdown steal, yet in a reply to a SA Rugby magazine post on Instagram, Vermeulen downplayed his feat.

“@rohanjvr12 Pella ek was maar lucky met daai een. Jyt ‘n great game gehad. Hou so aan trots op jou,” he posted.
