South Africa have recalled influential flanker Schalk Burger for the second test against the British Lions on Saturday.

Burger comes in for the injured Heinrich Brussow having missed the Springboks 26-21 victory in Durban due to a calf injury.

Hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle has also been called on to the bench which consists of five forwards and just two backs.

The game at Loftus Versfeld this weekend will be Burger's 50th cap for South Africa and he is expected to cause the Lions yet more headaches in the scrummaging department.

Last weekend the visitors were comprehensively outplayed during the first half as the Springbok pack continually pushed the Lions back.

Lions' coach Ian McGeechan will name his team to play the second Test on Thursday.
