Across 21 matches in top-tier international rugby, Vermeulen consistently operates as a high-impact forward, racking up over 250 metres with ball in hand while shouldering a steady defensive workload match after match. His tackling numbers rarely dip, and his peak performances — double-digit carries and tackles in a single game — show he can lift well beyond his average when the occasion demands it. The combination of sustained minutes and a player-of-the-match honour underlines a forward who earns his place through consistency and clutch capability.
