Burger had a cyst next to his spinal cord and went into hospital for treatment, but developed life-threatening meningitis and was taken to intensive care. Miraculously, he battled for his life and returned to the sport he loves to win his place back in the Springboks rugby team.

What an achievement by one of the most loved players in SA. My facebook was full of comments about how happy they are that he got this award.

Now Schalla just needs to keep up his remarkable comeback and take it to the World Cup...
