He received the Man-of-the-Match award in the Springboks' win against the All Blacks on 25 July 2009.

In the 2011 tri-nations Brüssow only came in at the third game against eventual champions Australia.

In the quarter-finals Brussow started against Australia.

South Africa lost the game 11–9 and were knocked out of the competition.
