LONDON (Reuters) - Namibia captain Jacques Burger has been ruled out of the remainder of the Rugby World Cup, ending the international career of arguably the country’s greatest player.

The Saracens loose-forward was concussed nine minutes into Wednesday’s 17-16 Pool C defeat by Georgia which earned a first World Cup point for Namibia but not a first win.
