Across 77 matches Burger shows a reliable all-round contribution at scrum half, averaging carries and tackles every game rather than dominating either category in isolation. His ten tries across the dataset point to a player who finds the line when opportunities arise, while single-game peaks of nine carries and nine tackles indicate he can step up his workload significantly when the game demands it. The balance between his carrying and defensive numbers reflects a scrum half who engages fully on both sides of the ball.
