CAPE TOWN - With less than a minute gone on the clock, Schalk Burger got up at a ruck and tried to prevent Luke Fitzgerald from winning the ball on the ground.
But then it all became a disaster – Burger’s fingers went into the left eye area of Lions wing Fitzgerald, and he received a yellow card. “It didn’t go according to plan for me personally in 2009 – I contributed quite a controversial part in the game! If you look back at your career, you can’t take it back. There’s no time for regrets in life, but there were definitely learnings for me personally out of that,” Burger told De Villiers.
“But from an experience, it doesn’t get any better. The guys only come across every 12 years; we’ve mentioned that Frans Steyn can become the only player in the modern era who could do it twice; and it’s just a tour that you have to be part of.” “How the supporters flock to the games, and spending time in cities like Cape Town, or Johannesburg, follow them around through South Africa – it’s a phenomenal experience,” said the 86-Test Springbok loose forward.
