Schalk Willem Petrus Burger Jr.
(born 13 April 1983) is a South African rugby union player.
He plays as a flanker for Saracens in the English Premiership and has won 86 caps for South Africa. He was a member of the 2007 Rugby World Cup-winning team, has twice been named South African Rugby Player of the Year (in 2004 and 2011), and was named IRB Player of the Year in 2004, among other accolades.
He also holds the record for the most appearances (84) and most tries scored (13) by a Springbok flanker.
However, Burger's physical approach has also resulted in him being shown a yellow card six times in international rugby, second only to Italy's Marco Bortolami (7 times) as of June 2014.
Burger has also suffered injuries, especially to his neck and knee, which have sidelined him for considerable periods at a time.
He has also played four times for the Barbarians.
