Vodacom Bulls No 8 Duane Vermeulen says the injury he suffered against the Brumbies in Canberra on Saturday is not serious.

The Bulls’ stand-in skipper received medical treatment on the field, but he couldn’t continue and was forced off with his left arm wrapped up in his shirt and an ice-pack against his neck.

It was initially feared that Vermeulen’s injury could be serious, but the 32-year-old took to social media to confirm that he had only suffered stiffness in his neck and shoulder.

Maybe not the best way to walk off the field but luckily everything is ok just major stiffness in my neck and shoulder. #bullsfamily #keepongrinding
