Johannes Frederick 'Jacques' Vermeulen (born 8 February 1995 in Paarl, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player for the Template:Rut Sharks in Super Rugby and the Currie Cup and the Template:Rut Sharks XV in the Rugby Challenge.[1] His regular position is flanker, but he can also play as a lock.

Career

2008–13

He represented Western Province from as early as primary school level, when he played at the Under-13 Craven Week competition in 2008. In 2011, he was included in their Under-16 squad that played at the Grant Khomo week before playing in the premier high school rugby union competition in South Africa, the Under-18 Craven Week in both 2012 and 2013, starting all three of their matches in both competitions and scoring one try in their 2013 match against the Golden Lions.[2]

After the 2013 competition, he was included in the South African Schools side. He started their matches against England[3] and Wales[4] and played off the bench against France,[5] helping South Africa to victories in all three matches.

2014

Despite not initially being included in the South Africa Under-20 squad for the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship, an injury to Dan du Preez led to Vermeulen being called up.[6] He started their 61–5 victory over Scotland in their opening match of the competition,[7] but didn't feature in their next match against hosts New Zealand, where South Africa achieved a 33–24 win.[8] He returned to the starting line-up for their final pool match against Samoa[9] and also started their 32–25 victory against New Zealand in the semi-final.[10] He made his fourth start of the competition in the final against England, but could not prevent South Africa losing the match 20–21 to finish the competition as runners-up.[11]

He returned to domestic action to represent the Template:Rut Western Province U21s in the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship, despite still being eligible for their Under=19 side. He started five of their matches in the competition, with the side making it all the way to the final of the competition before losing 10–20 to the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U21s.[12]

2015

Vermeulen was included in the Template:Rut Western Province squad for the 2015 Vodacom Cup competition. He made his domestic first class debut on 21 March 2015, starting their match against the Template:Rut Boland Cavaliers in Caledon and helping them to a 25–10 victory.[13] He also started their matches against the Template:Rut Sharks XV,[14] the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings[15] and Template:Rut Griquas.[16]

He was named in a 37-man training squad for the South Africa national under-20 rugby union team[17] and subsequently included in the squad that embarked on a two-match tour of Argentina.[18] He started their 25–22 victory over Argentina in the first match,[19] but didn't feature in their 39–28 victory a few days later.[20]

Upon the team's return, he was named in the final squad for the 2015 World Rugby Under 20 Championship.[21] He didn't play in the first of their three matches in Pool B of the competition, a 33–5 win against hosts Italy,[22] but came on as a replacement in their 40–8 win against Samoa in the second match. He started their final group match against Australia, scoring a try in the second minute of the match to help South Africa to a 46–13 win[23] which saw South Africa finish top of Pool B to qualify for the semi-finals with the best record pool stage of all the teams in the competition. Vermeulen didn't feature in their semi-final match against England, which saw them lose 20–28 to be eliminated from the competition by England for the second year in succession[24] but he did start their third-place play-off match against France, helping South Africa to a 31–18 win to secure third place in the competition.[25]
