Brussow delight at surprise Boks call

HEINRICH BRUSSOW has been added to the South Africa squad as cover for Schalk Burger ahead of Saturday’s first Test against the Lions.

The Cheetahs flanker, who was unlucky to miss out on the initial team list after an outstanding Super 14 season, gets his chance as Burger continues to struggle with a calf injury.

The 22-year-old has played one Test previously when he was a sub against England during South Africa’s end-of-year tour last year and admits he is thrilled with the call.
