Duane no fan of enforced rest

Cape Town - Springbok and Stormers No 8 Duane Vermeulen has yet to be convinced of the benefits of enforced mid-season rest breaks.

The Stormers skipper played just one game on his team's four-game overseas tour as part of SARU's agreement with the franchises to rest key players.

Yet Vermeulen was on top form in his comeback game, playing an influential role in the Stormers' win over the Bulls at Newlands last Saturday.
