Duane ‘Dazed and Confused’ Vermeulen
Ever wondered why Springbok and Stormers No.8 Duane Vermeulen always has that perplexed look on his face?

Not many people know that Peter Jackson first conceived of his Lord of the Rings Trilogy project while on tour with the Welsh squad to New Zealand in the mid-90s. In between filling in at tight-head, Peter Jackson was able to scope out locations, meet with special effects studios and generally sketch out his blue print for the trilogy that would go on to break box office records.

Guthro: For your information, there’s a lot more to props than people think.
Chilliboy: Example?

Chilliboy: They stink?
Guthro: Yes… No!
Chilliboy: Oh, they make you cry?
Guthro: No!
Chilliboy: Oh, you leave ‘em out in the sun, they get all brown, start sproutin’ little white hairs…
Guthro: [peels an onion] NO! Layers. Onions have layers. Props have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers.
[walks off]
There’s an old Italian saying: “You f%*k up once, you lose two teeth“.
Well done Naka and the Cheetahs for a great win in Sydney yesterday.
Tough call as to whom I’d rather have playing at centre for the Boks…
