I'm a kiwi All Black man through and through, but the All Blacks and various other countries don't have success without players like this. I remember Burger being one of the hardest bastards in union but also one of the most humble and respectable, which is why he was and is still is one of the most respected men in Union!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody great player. Big ticker and a true hard man of the game, never took a backward step and didn't have to resort to cheap shots and foul play like that grub Bakkies Botha. Much respect to this fella from a Kiwi
Michael M Yeah it didn't look good slowed down and replayed on repeat. I'd be the first to denounce such actions but I honestly believe there was no malice in that one. It looked like he was almost "playfully" grabbing around the nose, yes anywhere around the head and face is out of bounds, but it seemed more like a half hearted reflex movement, an instantaneous reaction that didn't appear to be overly aggressive or spiteful. The commentators (as they often do) blew it out of all proportion which in turn affects the way viewers interpret it.
Men of steel, Schalk , Pierre, Marcell, Ruben, Heinrich to name a few. SA make the best loosies. They all just seem to handle lifes blows like no one else can. We are proud of you all
I remember seeing him play his first Stormers game and turned to my friend and said "who the fuck is that" He was like a turbocharged maniac and it was just bouncing blonde hair,two tackles in a row etc. Doesn't get enough credit for his offloading and passing game which itself was a game changer. What a warm,friendly,chilled-out intelligent guy,top bloke Respect !
@@roberthutchison1561 such a stupid comment seriously !! If anyone would love Schalk the most it would be a kiwi I agree. I have two friends who moved to Auckland from S.A and they absolutely love your beautiful country
@@roberthutchison1561 i totally agree with you Robert..from a bok supporter.. there's that unwritten code of repect between All Blacks and Springboks people who truelly love the game of rugby
Incredible! By far my favourite rugby player of all time. What a man
Arnold Vlok he is a great rugby player and a gentleman also !
Yes, what a man, and he is so humble!
Arnold Vlok best fetcher ever 🙏🏾

Bloody great player. Big ticker and a true hard man of the game, never took a backward step and didn't have to resort to cheap shots and foul play like that grub Bakkies Botha. Much respect to this fella from a Kiwi
The Talented Mr Fitz loved him until he tried to gouge Fitzgerald, great player and inspirational story but that was always hard to understand

A real Springbok! A champ. We will miss your heart and power Schalkie!
Mr size 17 boots.
He donated a pair of his boots to a young man on the East Rand who couldn't find big enough boots to play in.
Thanks!

From a kiwi, best no 6 and player
ehh nah
What a lovely man & great rugby player xx So glad he pulled through this trauma xx
The HULK Burger...awesome
The Incredible Schalk.
Awesome and I believe he has it in him. An all round great man and rugby player
When I go to war, I want Schalk on my left and Korne Krige on my right.
One of South Africas Greats = One of the World's Greats . It would have been Great to see him in A Munster Team .
such a hardman and a star.......second best flanker...behind Ritchie....(kiwi here)
I remember seeing him play his first Stormers game and turned to my friend and said "who the fuck is that"
He was like a turbocharged maniac and it was just bouncing blonde hair,two tackles in a row etc.

What a warm,friendly,chilled-out intelligent guy,top bloke
Respect !
My thoughts exactly when seeing him playing for WP the first time. What a legend - was just like the energizer bunny! Don't know how he did it!
The incredible Schalk!!
Somebody chopping onions in here?
Proper Legend
My favorite springbok ever!!!
metoo
Legend Schalkie
So, if you listen to some really prominent All Blacks, Schalk is probably one if not the most respected players to play against!
Most powerful and gifted flanker ever... with a broken body. Time to retire Mr Burger and enjoy your family life.
+Pamaratta You have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry
Houws Houlinou Ok maybe you're right I admit. But be sure I'm a fan...May I?
Pamaratta For sure!
what a Mann!!m true grit, long may your life be my boy!!
True inspiration
best flank in SA
I think we might know why the Saffas haven't been that great at Rugby recently without this legend. Hope we see him in the Green jersey again soon.
@mark anthony 2 year old comment... pays to grasp context.
2:04 ...His dads hand compared to his mothers.
Sheeewww
Fukken Legend !!
I love you buddy and champ❤😂
The Grace of God on a man who is called for the Kingdom

My grootste rugby staat maker. Jasi hu mis ek jo games oom
Ja, we remember Schalk Burger, both of them ...
🍔CRASH BALL SPECIALIST 🍔
what a fucking warrior
Schalk, jy is n fokken yster pappa!
After his career he should open a burger chain restaurants
Great joke. Very funny. Sarcasm
6 Dislikes. Probably the Kiwis.
Kiwis are the most humble people in the world.
If you havent met a kiwi then you cant judge us
Lol alot of kiwis love this guy he is a inspiration huge respect.
Kiwis are one of the most humble people in the world

Nah we have mutual respect for Kiwi's and vice versa

@twocentsrugby
if burger was yank hed be jj watts le nfl sucks as scouts. brussow mlb zach thomas
One of the most overrated South african players along with beast and Bakkies
This hasn’t aged well, Beast retires after a masterclass as a World Cup winner and a legend.
Ovverrated se MOER
So you mean underrated?
Sad tosser, shut up, whinging pom.
