Across 80 matches, Burger shows a steady involvement in the contact game, contributing with the ball in hand and holding his own defensively at the breakdown. His try-scoring return of 11 tries from a scrum half position points to an ability to find the line when opportunities arise. While his per-match carry and tackle averages reflect a controlled, efficient role rather than a dominant one, his best individual performances — reaching 9 carries, 81 metres, and 9 tackles in a single game — demonstrate that he can step up his influence meaningfully when the game demands it.
