Strengths: Burger has no fear on the rugby field and his energy that he carries with him is exhausting to watch. A player always ready to give 200 per cent for any team he plays, Burger's defence and ability to challenge for the loose ball make him one of the finest players in the world. His sheer brute strength and size is astounding.
Weaknesses: His general play is flawless, though his eagerness to get stuck in with his trademark mop of blond hair tends to result in penalties against him and his team.
