'Boks, Scots in transitional phase'

Former Springbok legend Duane Vermeulen says that the Springboks and Scotland are both going through transitioning periods and will be looking to get one over the other in their clash at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on Sunday.

After retiring last year, Vermeulen was brought into SA Rugby as part of their mobile coaching unit, and has been assisting the Boks over the past few months.

At a Bok press conference yesterday Vermeulen was asked if this weekend's match could be a more open contest than has been seen in previous games between the two, due to the Boks' more open game style this season, and admitted both teams might play a bit differently.
