Duane Vermeulen is likely to accept a deal from the Bulls and SA Rugby that will see him play for the Pretoria-based franchise in next year’s Super Rugby tournament.
According to Rapport newspaper, Vermeulen will play for the Bulls next year after Western Province and English club Bath’s attempts to sign him were unsuccessful.
However, SARugbymag.co.za understands that while this should be the case, the Bok No 8 has not yet signed the contract.

Vermeulen is currently contracted to Japanse club Kubota, who are coached by Frans Ludeke, and is set to return to them after the 2019 World Cup.
He will not be available for the Boks in the upcoming Rugby Championship but hopes to be selected for the end-of-year tour squad.
