Duane Vermeulen has endorsed Marco"Eskom" van Staden as one of the supposed fringe Springboks players knocking hardest on the door for a World Cup spot.
Marco van Staden is the one"Eskom" Duane Vermeulen and his fellow Springbok teammates would not mind causing a blackout ... of opponents, of course. "I played a few times against Marco and then we became teammates at the Bulls and I didn't take long to realise that this man is one tough nut," said Vermeulen.
Handed a rare start against the Wallabies three weeks ago, Van Staden applied all those lessons and delivered arguably the best performance of his international career to date, unsurprisingly with his ex-Bulls skipper next to him."When I got to know him, he was in-and-out of the Bok team, very much on the fringes for various reasons. He didn't always get a lot of opportunities. But that game against Australia was absolutely a fantastic performance.
