South Africa's revered power game is showcased in the considerable shape of flanker Burger, all 6ft 4in, 108kg of him, whose destructive tackling ability and physical presence at the breakdown makes him a core element of coach Jake White's plans.

Burger, with his flowing blond locks, is difficult to miss even in the heat of battle, and he will command attention from opposition players and coaches alike, such is the 24-year-old's destructive potential.

Recently returned to top-flight rugby following serious injury, and the stage is now set for him to mix it with the very best.
