I think this Burger the Burglar episode is a disgrace, the eye-burglar (aka Schalk the Dork) should be crucified for the sporting misconduct. He’s a disgrace to the game, the nation and their international guests. Rugby’s a tough game for sure, it is not however a license to deliberately, consciously and determinedly maim the opposition. As far as I am concerned Burger will be a stain on many people’s appreciation of rugby for some time to come and he should shamefully carry that burden for the rest of his playing days. He has marred the series and it will be remembered for his failure and shortfall as a sportsman and a gentleman as much as for the rugby itself. The disrespect he receives is directly proportional to the image he leaves behind. I hope after he is done playing rugby he may find time to reflect, reject this inherent south african arrogance, and feel ashamed. His inclusion in any future sporting event will likely taint many people’s viewing pleasure. A despicable incident, a young man falling a long way short.
