RugbyU: Toulon No.8 Vermeulen goes under knife

TOULON, France, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Jul, 2017 ) - Toulon's bid to win back the Top 14 title will start without the services of their giant South African number eight Duane Vermeulen, who underwent minor surgery on a nagging groin injury, the club said Wednesday.

"He'll be out for three months," a club spokesman told AFP, adding Toulon had no plans to recruit a replacement for the 31-year-old, 6ft 4in (193m) former Stormers man capped 31 times by the Springboks.

Last season's losing Top 14 finalists Toulon have come under the scrutiny of French rugby's financial watchdog in the close season and have been less active than in recent years on the transfer market.
