A Tribute to Schalk Burger

[hediedat7]

the end was fricken funny fuck hes a great player but a dirty one aswell

[100Fagundes]

what is this song?

[zepaddy]

@100Fagundes Song is the Official Soundtrack of Conan The Barbarian, it's a Basil Pouledoris composition, and this song may be Riders of Doom or smthg like that...

[marburgmonkey]

0:49 - 1:29: The Incredible ScHULK

[6jhamm9]

I watch this video like 3 times a day. What a great player

[DanB878]

im english and i love him. SA's style, apart from the dirty play (ie Lions Tour and some of these high/illegal tackles), is exactly how i like to see rugby, epitomised by Burger.

[vegatablesouptom]

Brutal...and BACK :D

[bustyboy123]

saw him paying golf next to my school today (:

[MarkoftheRings]

Quite potentially tougher than nails

[JordKC1]

17 people dont like schalk burger

[Mr85wally]

17 people wishes Schalk could play for their countries.

[davsavchav]

this guy is a natural blindside playing at openside. peter de villiers play him at blindside and brussow at openside at the world cup if you want to win it!!!!

[grabbygrabby1]

High tackles galore and not using his arms in the tackle

[jhwilman]

Also, all the people hating him are just people who wish that he played for their country!

[jhwilman]

Not playing to his potential at the moment, but something tells me he is going to hit form just in time for the world cup.If he does...watch out world. GO BOKKE!!!!

[thecallan008]

Dirtiest player in rugby atm. As you can see in this video pretty much all the footage are of him doing high tackles and punching like at 2:03. Comes to no suprise his a South African.

[EinsteinUnderstudy]

@thecallan008 Fuck you

[ucla4eva]

@EinsteinUnderstudy ja...dat man is duidelik stom pyn!

[ThbtS34]

MACHINE

[TheAviator789]

The dislikes are from 16 members of the lions squad.

[SNOK1986]

HARD AS NAILS! 

[jameswaugh82]

i dream burger was an englishman. great music man single handed made me pick my boots up again for a swansong

[Peacecap]

@jameswaugh82 It's a piece from the soundtrack for Conan the Barbarian. Very fitting.

[purrange45]

Currently has calmed down alot but the work rate is still imense!!

[Peacecap]

Burger - the player with no stop button... Jake White said that Burger would always win the training camp beep tests, mainly because he had to be told to stop running when no one else was left.

[Ledecorus]

jesus christ this guys a nut... plus so many high tackles

[44redman1]

south africa has like australia very good backrow depth...brussow, alberts, deysel, kankowski, louw, botes, johnson

[soleeisoufika101]

The music is perfect! It matches schalk burger sooooooo much.

[benjyjeffo]

makes loads of high tackles

[tyrant1505]

From an Englishman -A true 100%er and toiler, takes the hits and expects others to receive them, tough as teak and a cracking bloke too! Dirty? There's FAR worse than him! Love his attitude!

[krompir95]

@tyrant1505 Name me 5 dirtier players then...

[tyrant1505]

@krompir95 Ali Williams, Bakkies Botha, Danny Grewcock, Jamie Cudmore, Alan Quinlan....and that's just in a couple of minutes!

[tyrant1505]

@krompir95 "Chattin' shit", nice!!! You started it, 5 dirtier players, what a joke. Ask any Bok supporter who's dirtier, Burger or Botha? Obviously your rugby knowledge (you said you're from Serbia) is as good as your national game!

[Mr1in1000000]

I swear they turned him into iron man when he came back

[mootube6]

im fuking scared now.

[trogn]

this guy is a legend!! he is strong and never tired, that's a real rugby player!

Hi from France!

[ucla4eva]

@trogn Salut! Dudes a legend...

[loveofwoman]

thumbs up..

[lukeywookey]

he was a fucking dirty beast but recently he's been alot more disciplined which is good

and he is a legend no doubt! thats comming from an englishman!

[skpr01]

bigupz to te man! best out of the saffas front row atm. n im a kiwi

[moonheadholland]

scumbag

[purrange45]

@moonheadholland Voetsak you pomme kuk bag

[ucla4eva]

'Who's got two thumbs and plays like a true Afrikianer Legend..."?

[Anti54123]

Hes just fearless

[Jahmiro17]

can someone tell me what's the name of the song? i know that it's from Conan, but i can found it :(

[KillerMcOne]

@Jahmiro17

Basil Poledouris - Riddle Of Steel / Riders Of Doom

[Jahmiro17]

@KillerMcOne Thanks :D

[BLOGGENIE]

THE PITBULL OF SPRINGBOK RUGBY, A LEGEND THE BEST NO 6 IN WORLD RUGBY!!! THE SPRINGBOKS WILL WIN RUGBY WORLD CUP 2011 IN NEWZEALAND

[23swaggerking]

@BLOGGENIE dont know man im south african but i really think new zealand will win it

[ucla4eva]

Would love to know the music on this vid if anyone knows! Go Bokke!

[zepaddy]

@ucla4eva End musique is the original soundtrack of Conan The Barbarian, the f***ing good movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger! I often listen to this song before going on the field, and Burger sure does too, this guy re4minds me of the old warriors that were feared in whole Europe, those giant Germans and Vikings =)

[tommyboy4738]

he is physically but pocock brussow and mccaw are in a different league. they are much more technical and don't do shit like eyegouging!!

[mandrilmalo]

always the meanest guy on the field, ALWAYS

[mickrum]

He's a bloody great player. Which is why i don't understand why he is such a thug on the pitch. There is simply no excuse.

[Anti54123]

hes a flanker whit the heart of a first raw

[radownsharky]

my goodness this vid is full of shoulder charges!! and high tackles! wat about his trys?? in super 14? Currie cup? and the green and gold?? he is a class player!! this just makes him look like a battering ram. any1 can be a battering ram, but not every1 can be a professional rugby player and Schalk is.

[Sandler41882]

The 8 that disliked this probably support northern hemisphere rubbish where the teams produce shit forwards.

Schalk is the man.

[whitehartlane1882]

Schalk Burger would probably take on a team by himself against 15.

[mywereldza]

I think there is better footage out there, nicely done none the less.

[u1m2b3]

il flanker piu forte di tutti i tempi

[AnimalisticMaggot]

incredible video for an incredible player..cheers mate!

[idprokzn]

This video could be at least an hour longer this man is the Incredible Schalk

[MAGM654]

Basil Poledouris - Battle of the Mounds

thats what the songs called...........took me a shitload of time to find it

[ucla4eva]

@MAGM654 Thanks brother!

[ucla4eva]

This the music!! WTF IS IT!!

[josetocortes]

Yeah dude, Schalk has the pure spirit of rugby...giving himself mental and fisically on the field...AWESOME!!

[mrgeorgemacho]

WHAT A BEAST!

[charlesphili1]

the guy is a fuckin lgend

[sandeno]

he is fucken fearless, sometimes over the top yes , but it`s his shitless passion for playing that numbs his mind, great amazing rugby legend....

[BaKer312213]

hitlers dream soldier

[ucla4eva]

@BaKer312213 LOL! Unfortunately you're right...would've been a poster child for that regime. DISCLAIMER: In no way is Schalk Burger or his family in anyway connected with Third Reicht.

[SaintArcane]

One of the best rugby players ever, and an uber nice guy.

[ucla4eva]

The Incredible Schalk!!

[Rugbyinmyblood]

he has the goofiest face/smile hahaha....but gotta like schalk

[Rugbyinmyblood]

he has the goofiest smile/face hahahah

[ucla4eva]

Schalk Burger = Mentalist!

Good player though...hope the Boks can get a couple of wins this Tri-Nations.

[FlankerBlindside6]

Schalk Burger is the best player of the history

is the best flanker

[u1m2b3]

che leggenda

[u1m2b3]

schalk è il migliore del mondo....una vera leggenda , un vero rugbysta.

[bigstuff83]

Yeah he is seriously dirty, but so are loads of players. I agree a savage tackler and generally hard as nails. Hell of a flanker. I still think its terrible when he eye gouges, theres just no excuse for it. Theres plenty of opportunities to hurt people on a rugby pitch, so why try and blind people?

[gmactera]

Gotta love the way he plays I'm a kiwi and i've got to admit you have one hell of a mean foward pack, but we have richie mccaw so its all good. To the maker of these videos, any chance you could put your loyalties aside and make some vids of our players cause these are nice?

[KingOropher]

I'm a Kiwi & I rate Schalk very highly. No bs with him around, gives it his all! Springboks are lucky to have him, I wish he played for the All Blacks, we need a hard man like him!

[coolcooper1971]

He proudly walks in the shadows of ALL Springbok Legends!!!!!!!

Fearless, Committed, Proud, Ruthless and sometimes bloody mad but thats why we S.Africans love him as a springbok.

[mjrooney7]

He walks like a little kid

[ShaNz194]

at 1st, i thought this video is about incredible hulk

[TheRealChadMustang]

@ShaNz194 this is the real incredible hulk, kid

[marcopantani]

Schalla gives you 120% - thats all you can ask for.....

[hamrite]

high tackles too many times.....cretin

[Bookerlad]

Cheap shot merchant. Shame really becuase he's devastating when he plays rugby.

[LilRetardedone]

some dirty tackles but its cool to see him break world class players

[RugbyHitsRUs]

Way too many high tackles in this video for me to rate him as a great tackler, a great hitter maybe, but his tackling technique is wild.

[RugbyHitsRUs]

@MrBigspottedcat Especially after his reaction to the try :L

[kingsnorky]

If he had half a brain he would be a great player. Juan Smith and Heinrich Brussouw make a much more intelligent and better balanced combination for the Springbok 6 and 7 shirts, Burger is better as an impact player.

[OMCZ123]

this stuff is just funnily bad hes up there with butch james as funniest dirty players in my book

[Cr8NewNoise]

bottom line would you want to play against him no, would you want to play with him yes.

[TheLurker101]

As an american i've only watched ruby for the past two years, i think he's one of the most best in the sport i've been watching super 14, i thought rugby was about being scrappy, he's an example of that old school style, do whatever the fuck the it takes to beat your opponent,type of player

[matiasarielrobbio]

Un Espectacular Jugador

[matt2k6wales]

tipical flanker dirty as fuck brilliant!!!

[jdofb]

most of this looks like yellow cards its just endless clothes line tackles and mis judged challenges for the ball the ones where he tackles properly are brutal tho

[PERandreaPER]

he is the perfect flanker: an assassin :D

[TheRealChadMustang]

Burger's high tackle at the start is like a gladiator beheading his foe.

Burger: South African hard man.

[TheRealChadMustang]

Oh yeah, very creative tribute, dude!!

[charlesphili1]

tune is riddle of steel riders of doom

[daddyroughmf]

Music is from Conan the barbarian. I don't like Burger but I do like this video - mainly due to the sequences and Conan music.

[AkaTheMonkey]

i might be mistaken ....hes such a great play but i dont like him...

[charlesphili1]

anyway, my favourite sprinbok player of all time

[uthikoloshe]

@charlesphili1 no no no no no! Joost is the best springbok of all time!

[charlesphili1]

whats the great music?

[MrHippo17]

Cette vidéo est honteuse!!!! on y voit que des mauvais gestes ou des gestes de grosses brutes.Schalk Burger ne mérite en aucun cas cette hommage.Rappelez de cette fourchette sur Luke Fitzgerald qui avez à peine été sanctionner contrairement à celle de Julien Dupuis qui été sanctionner trés trés lourement pour un geste qui n'était même pas une fourchette...

[MrHippo17]

This movie is shameful! " we see that bad actions or gestures large brutes.Schalk Burger deserves in any case this hommage.Rappelez this range on Luke Fitzgerald, who have just been punished unlike that of Julian Dupuis, who was very punishing to your mort a gesture that was not even a fork ...

[jmapelteuz]

Il est bon mais c'est un bel enfoiré sadique et qui n'a rien à foutre sur un terrain après tous les gestes dangereux qu'on a pu le voir distribuer.

[oman0115]

Reminds me of the Jaws character off old James Bond movies, all he needs is the metal teeth!!

[katpiering123]

HAHAHA!!! Good one, now i can see it too.

Imagine how scared the opposition would have been if they they gave him metal teeth while working on his neck. like jaws in 007.

[Leinster4life13]

classic vid,if his timing was a little better could be one of the best evr

[dawetton]

thats what a great flanker needs to do, throw himself around the park like a maniac. bok legend

[vinniechan]

My ideal Barbarian back row will look like

6.) Neil Best

7.) Lewis Moody

8.) Schalk Burger

Players are picked for their insanity :)

[katpiering123]

you missed one. Luke/puke Watson, his more insane than all of them because he even takes on his own countrymen with pathetic comments.

[vinniechan]

Ah fair enough. I just think he's a good player but always over shadowed by someone.

I read some of his article, and must admit as an outsider, it didn't sound as bad as it was made out of. But then understandably, making such a statement always back fires.

[katpiering123]

I totally agree, i think his an excellent player, but his mouth got the better of him and he killed his career with his own words. Thats prob. why he gonna play in UK now for bath. I think his father put him up to say what he said.

[onkinpigs]

@vinniechan richie mccaw...the most insane player in the world?? :L

[saintbowen79]

nice to see tuquiri getting a bit of his own medacine, dirty bastard!!!

[Antmastermaster]

So increadibly agressive, unbelieveable

[DanB878]

people call him dirty but hes on a par with mccaw as the best openside in the world at the moment but he dosnt get the recognition becuase people call him a dirty player but hes just super aggressive and physical. mccaws more of a dirty player in terms of being a cheat

[heshinator1]

song?

[RockswithVox]

There are a few high tackles in this video but I like Burger. The music is really good too.

[CillBill91]

3 words to describe him;

vicious,

determined,

great...

[berlintuba]

schalk burger is a fuckin legend. yes he sometimes does dirty things but he always gives it everything, plays like an animal, throws himself around like theres no tomorrow...

and the best thing is: when he gets smashed or run over, he gets straight up and carries on.

[adcsm101take2]

My hero.

[kingmarco1313]

Schalk jou LEGEND! Schalla is KONING!

[ifiocina]

The Killer Schalk and the Butcher Bakkies :) the Be(a)sts :P

(y)

[fitosanitari0]

I relly like schalk, but this video show the mistakes of this great player!!

[tamurlane11]

LOL, is this a tribute or showing up all his past mistakes?

[mjribes]

You sound like a BI Lions supporter!

[pault9]

what a great player, possibly in the top five back row players of all time. but this isn't a tribute video. it just highlights the reasons why he doesn't get any respect throughout the rugby world. i think most people involved with rugby would agree that there is no place in the game for cheap shots and dirty play, no matter how good the player is.

[floppykid]

gouger

[HerrAirburst]

incredible player when he plays clean

[ullorbrolly]

lol 9:06-9:09

[diecrazyfrog]

all of those tackles were either late, high or just shit. and all he does is take it to contact. there are much better flankers in the world than this guy. but dont get me wrong. he's a total machine!

[ixcalibir]

Great video - Burger is as hard as they come.

[tmawman31]

hes just fearless

[tmawman31]

another amazing video!! well done

As for schalk i lost some respect for him because of the gouging incident......but what a player!!

[TheLurker101]

Thats the Conan the Barbarian theme song.

[FuckFlash]

gj on the video. i like how physical he is, but the video showed only high/dirty tackles...

[93msinclair]

the incredible schalk

[redd1g]

dirtiest man in world rugby

[afk1212]

goddamnit...this is why we LOVE rugby!!! no time for weakness...this is a MAN's game...american football fans MUST watch this

[Akonsmackdat]

Here goes Habana........ Schalk Burger...... Heinrich Brussow......Victor Matfield.... Morne Steyn....... Francois Steyn....... Bakkies Botha..... John Smit..... Jean De Villers........ And of Course Pierre Spies......... You have to give credit to all these guys great effort...... Tendai Mttwariria....... And Ruan Pienaar is also good...... But My fav player Schalk

[Spogness]

legend

[mudvaynemaggot123]

I love hot the hits go with the music

[xGUILLAUMEx]

music please, awesome video

[TheRockstarlee]

give them hell tomorrow son, let them remember

[jakejenkz]

I was going to say what I thought of this video, but luckily plenty of people beat me to it.

[like2surf]

All I can say is people should start wearing goggles when they're around this guy.

[ullorbrolly]

lmao!

[1gnatius3000]

WHAT A LEGEND

[schpitt]

this isnt a tribute its an insult

[TheLurker101]

WTF?!

[marvellousmadser]

I don't understand this. Is it actually a tribute or is it a parody? Cos almost everything he does here is illegal, but there are a few good things too.

[SUURWURM]

legend!

[drukjohn1982]

brilliant good job
