Burger contributes reliably on both sides of the ball, averaging seven carries and five tackles per match across his three Rugby World Cup appearances. His carrying workload points to a centre who is regularly trusted to advance the gainline, while his tackle numbers reflect a willingness to put in the hard yards defensively. A nine-tackle, 32-metre outing shows he is capable of lifting well above his averages when the occasion demands.
