Across 76 matches Burger shows a scrum half who contributes meaningfully beyond service, averaging over ten metres per game from a modest carry count that reflects a selective, purposeful running game. His tackle numbers are consistent rather than high-volume, pointing to a nine who reads the defensive line efficiently rather than one relied upon to plug gaps. Single-game peaks of nine carries and nine tackles indicate he can step up his physical involvement when the game demands it.
