One of the stand out players for the Vodacom Stormers in 2006, this highly talented loose forward’s devastating form was cruelly cut short by a horrific neck injury he suffered while playing for the Springboks in June 2006. He underwent major surgery and played no rugby for the rest of the year. With many fearing he would never take to the rugby field again, all eyes will be on Schalk to see whether he can regain his previous form as one of the most talented loose forwards in the world.
