Jacques Burger on coaching rugby in Africa with Bhubesi Pride

BY Grant Constable  ·  Tuesday Mar 14, 2017

Former Namibia captain and Saracens flanker, Jacques Burger, retired from the game he loves dearly toward the back-end of last year’s 2015/16 season. He has now established himself back in his home country of Namibia as a farmer, but his passion for rugby is still burning strong.

As part of his transition from the game, Jacques has been involved in some media engagements in South Africa and recently gave up a week of his time to join Bhubesi Pride in Kenya, coaching rugby at grassroots level in Nairobi townships, as well as with local club sides.
