Sidelined for the opening weeks of the new Gallagher Premiership due to a knee injury sustained in the pre-season victory over Ulster, the all-action flanker was hugely impressive on his return to competitive action a week ago.
Sadly for Vermeulen – and the Chiefs – his first start ended in disappointment as the Devonians slipped to a fourth successive league defeat.
