Niel Burger - The Power of Province 

It was a pleasure to watch Niel Burger, I first noticed him playing for SA Defense force scoring an outrageous try running through 6 defenders. i saw him live a few times at Kings park one noticeable occasion was for WP 7's in provincial 7's he scored a try 50 meters out and all 7 opponents tried to stop him and failed, he got a standing ovation from the Kings park crowd. The world really missed out on a truly exceptional rugby player but we remember him fondly.

Wow what an great time period in SA rugby, even Eastern Province and Northern Freestate had a competitive team.

This rugby player should be given an honorary Springbok Blazer

Yster .... Dankie vir hierdie video.

Neil Burger and some other WP players c coached us at a rugby clinic in the mid 1980ties. He was wearing army uniform at the rugby clinic

This video really took me back to the late 80's and the power and pace of this man. What a thrill it was to watch him. You knew with Carel (and later Kobus Burger) on one wing and him on the other there was always a chance of a try, even when trailing.

he has a OK store in Worcester it use to be a Spar but he is there almost everyday very humble person

Wish we still had some Wingers like that today. That can run over a man and around him. Also like Mordt

5:09 Man, that try is outrageous!

Great pace et cetera coupled with massive prey-drive. What a player, what a brutally intent rugby winger.

agree he was soo unlucky , as a laaitie growing up in Goodwood in Cape Town we used to see him jogging around the neighborhood often. He was a freak . Cant believe Kobus Burger was also picked over him sometimes

Neil made Newlands rumble 🤗🙌

Jo. He was amazing. He was my first sporting hero. Speed and power

bloody monster this lad

Stadions was voller teen spanne soos noord-Vrystaat en OP as vandag se Springbok toetse.

He was so hard to tackle/stop - a genuine freakish ability and physique.

So sad that we don't have the old Jersey's

Baie ongelukkig om nooit 'n Springbok te word nie. Maar nou ja, Ray Mordt was daar...

These guys are bigger than they look. I recently met Calla Scholtz my child hood rugby hero. I am 50 years height 5.8 and Calla Scholtz must be in his 70ties and he towers over me in height but looks average here as a young rugby player

So sterk soos n os selfde as Ray Mordt en Danie Gerber jammer nooit bok klere gekry nie
