Queensland should approach Schalk Burger as import
Eddie Jones
QUEENSLAND coach Tom Mooney should fly to Cape Town to discover if Schalk Burger is interested in wearing red for six months.
The Reds need a top-shelf back-rower with John Roe and David Croft both now retired.
Imagine Burger trading a Stormers jumper for a Reds jersey. He is an incredible player. At 110kg, he runs all day, has good hands and is a top bloke. The Springbok back-rower works hard and likes a beer – he would love the Queensland lifestyle.
The proposal to allow foreign players into Australia's four Super 14 sides from next year creates this possibility.
