I think this perfectly tolls the end of all those Chuck Norris jokes. Soon everyone in the world will be telling Schalk Burger jokes.

That’s what I was hoping Colin. Enough about a make believe character who fake ninja kicks, we have the Real Mccoy in South Africa.

Who said anything about this being original or clever? It’s just stating the intimidating facts about Schalk to the Tongan team ahead of their clash with the Boks this weekend. They occasionally pop by here.

Schalk Burger is so tough that
he doesn’t need a watch, he decides what time it is.

Ha ha! This is classic Mark. Love your work.
On the side, I was thinking: I wonder who’d win a fight between Sebastian Chabal and Schalk Burger.
My money’s on Schalk – although it’d be a good fight.

This is quality – came over here from the BBC sport website. As an England fan, I can appreciate the monstrous qualities of ‘The Schalk’ – he is awesome. Here’s looking forward to a good final this weekend – and an England win of course :-)

Schalk Burger Lost his virginaty before his dad did. Schalk Burger was not borned normal, he punched his way out of his mothers whom, spear tackled the doctor and shortly after grew his blond locks. Since the birth of Schalk Burger spear tackle deaths in South Africa increased with more tha 500%. When Schalk Burger sleeps with a man its not because he is gay, but because he ran out of women.

Burger het GEEN dissilpine nie. As hy in die game is moet jy maar net weet dat ons punte gaan afstaan deur sy disipline. Dit is maar net omdat Pappa weer ‘n bok was\(en nie ‘n goeie een nie) dat hy een is
