'I’m as hungry now as I’ve ever been to play in the Sharks’ jersey.'
However‚ all Craig Burden knows‚ is that it has potentially made for a thrilling finish to the league stages of this year’s Super Rugby competition.
“But it is exciting. The conference is tied up at the moment‚” said Burden at the Vodacom Red client track day at Kyalami on Thursday. “We are all human and every one of those players is targeting the World Cup. At the same time the boys know the importance of a good result in each game. It is hard to put your finger on it‚” Burden admitted.“It is interesting. We knew we had three home games before we were due to tour. Mentally what we would have prepared for was getting three wins to take pressure off before going on tour‚” said Burden.
“My role isn’t confined to just bringing knowledge and experience. I’m here to have a full crack and play as much as I can. I’m as hungry now as I’ve ever been to play in the Sharks’ jersey.Burden is a fortnight away from fully recovering from the injury. As a hardened professional he has learnt to roll with the punches.“I could not have asked for a better experience.
