    Very sad to hear. It can strike anyone

    Did anyone hear on the commentary that Schalk Burger had an infection after an operation and died, then was resuscitated. Back playing 9 months later

    Schalk had an ongoing calf muscle problem after his knee injury. An MRI showed up a cyst on his spinal column, and he decided to have it drained, in early 2013 he developed an infection which was later identified as bacterial meningitis. He spent a over a month in hospital and was just about "written off", once or twice. He plays it down, but the fact that he is out there at all is a miracle
