About Schalk Brits

Schalk Brits is a PRG Old Boy who matriculated in 1999. His professional rugby career spanned over 20 years who played for various teams in South Africa (Stormers, Bulls, Lions) as well as Saracens in the United Kingdom. Internationally he made his debut for the Springboks in 2008 and he retired at the end of 2019 as one of the players and captains of the World Cup-winning team. His ability to lift the spirit amongst his fellow team mates and set an example with his professionalism and superb work rate is evident in the words of Rassie Erasmus, South Africa’s Director of Rugby: “Schalk was an invaluable member of the 2019 Rugby World Cup-winning team. He came in with one goal in mind and that was to make the Springboks successful, putting aside his own ambitions and selflessly working for the greater good of the team, as a player and a mentor to younger squad members.” Brits is the epitome of PRG’s values of hard work, discipline, honesty and humility.

Schalk Brits-beurs

Paul Roos Gimnasium (PRG) bied met trots ‘n volledige rugbybeurs aan vir ‘n elite 16/17-jarige sportman.

Sluitingsdatum: 29 September 2023

Agtergrond Schalk Brits

Schalk Brits is ‘n PRG-oudskolier wat in 1999 gematrikuleer het en sy professionele rugbyloopbaan strek oor ’n periode van 20 jaar waartydens hy vir verskillende spanne in Suid-Afrika (Stormers, Bulle, Leeus) sowel as Saracens in die Verenigde Koninkryk gespeel het. Hy maak sy debuut vir die Springbokke in 2008, en tree hy in 2019 uit as lid van die span wat die Wêreldbeker wen. Met sy vermoë om spangees hoog te hou, is hy ook ‘n voorbeeld van professionaliteit en uitstekende werksywer soos duidelik blyk uit die woorde van Rassie Erasmus, direkteur van Rugby in Suid-Afrika: “Schalk was ‘n lid wat onskatbare waarde toegevoeg het tot die 2019 Rugbywêreldbeker wenspan. Hy het met een doel voor oë gekom en dit was om die Springbokke suksesvol te maak, deur sy eie ambisies opsy te skuif en onbaatsugtig te werk vir die groter beswil van die span, as speler en mentor vir jonger groeplede.” Brits is die toonbeeld van PRG se waardes van harde werk, dissipline, eerlikheid en nederigheid.
