Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Reliable defensive anchor at nine

Across 13 Currie Cup appearances, Bursey has established himself as a consistently involved defender, averaging three tackles per match with a single-game high of seven — a figure that underlines his willingness to put his body on the line. His carrying is measured rather than prominent, but his best game of 41 metres from four carries shows he can make ground when he chooses to run. The combination of steady defensive output and selective ball-carrying suggests a scrum half who prioritises control and structure over individual impact.
