Burger adds to Boks’ woes

SOUTH AFRICA coach Jake White believes his side will struggle to cover the loss of flanker Schalk Burger in Saturday’s one-off Test against France at Newlands.

Burger, 23, is one of a host of Springboks to have picked up an injury in the series victory over Scotland and will undergo neck surgery on Saturday in an attempt to save his career.

“We’d be living in a dream world if we thought we’d be the same side without him,” White said.
