The BEST Rugby Tackler?! | Jacques Burger's HUGE Hits!

[@Luan_Roos]

This man has helped insire a generation of Namibians by showing us that it is possible to reach the top of the sport even though we a such a small rugby country.

[@patrickchilds2987]

I was lucky to meet Jacque at Sarries a few times . A fabulous player and very decent man Popular with the players and loved by the fans. He is missed but we all wish him well on his farm back in Namibia

[@andrewp1075]

That clean out on Bakkies was divine justice.

[@schnozz87]

Yeah I loved Bakkies as a player but if anyone ever deserved that clean out it was him 😂

[@matthew3078]

Multiple times you can hear Farrell shouting 'hit'em Jaques' on a kick chase

[@schnozz87]

1:39 "HIT HIM JACQUES, HIT HIM JACQUES, YES!!" 😂

[@nikolakozhuharov1042]

@@schnozz87 and then the ref penalized him 😁

[@FUJITRACK10]

Like he needed the encouragement

[@noelwhelan9735]

Every tackle was a full arm wrap. Might have been a strong tackle but fair every time

[@bedtimewithben5802]

I feel like there aren’t many players like him anymore that are genuinely terrifying

[@tiegomokhele6247]

enter ardie savea enter eben etzebeth enter jasper wiese enter julian montoya enter ben earl

[@bedtimewithben5802]

⁠@@tiegomokhele6247none of them other than maybe Wiese & Eben have the same Aura though… Montoya ?!?😂

[@jonnybaynham1689]

Sam Underhill to me exemplifies heavy hits with ideal tackling technique today.

[@Frog13799]

Peter Steph Du Toit comes to mind

[@patrickchilds2987]

​@@tiegomokhele6247 Jerry Collins, Henry Tuilagi Brad Barrett maybe . I don't think there us anyone in today's game like Jacque Burger

[@orgduplessis4354]

Een van die grootstes van Namibiese Rugby, 'n YSTER !!

[@angusevans0621]

Never knew a brick wall could run.

[@nikolakozhuharov1042]

my back hurts from that clean out on Bakkies

[@mvubu6823]

And clean Just technically perfect

[@EdwardKeen-yq3to]

I’ve watched him from a kid what a BEAST 🦁

[@eamonlyons8069]

My man woke up one day and decided he wasn't going backwards anymore. Met him once as s kid at a sarries tournament for youth teams. Chill bloke. World class in his day.

[@hashtag_thisguy]

Wrap around and drop; some clean, well timed and safe tackling.

[@juckoosaurus]

Brutal & legal, so beautiful to see him tackle

[@emmettculleton7165]

This is a Giant amongst men, God bless him

[@theofarmmanager267]

There have been plenty with greater bulk behind their tackling but kilo for kilo? I’d say Berger was the best. 50% great technique; 50% just sheer courage. All thoughts about the tackle; zero thought about personal safety.

[@mattiasdahlstrom2024]

I think that man loves to tackle even more than most of us

[@extremesportsify]

Would not want to play him 😂

[@phillipsnyman2101]

"It's not a problem when you see Jacques Burger coming. It's a problem when you don't!"

[@garywagner2466]

“Murder?!” Back it off a few notches, Captain Hype.

[@RatzaChewy]

Jacques... What did Ken Pisi ever do to you?

[@yolo6945]

One of the best Saracens players ever!

[@a29298774]

日本人も彼が好きです❤️

[@Damien-bi6ng]

Good god!!

[@LiamoLiamoLiamo]

Andrew forced upload? Heck ye im watching

[@bru1359]

Jacques Burger, il était saignant (as we say here)

[@liamsmith6173]

Sam Under Hill on top ------>

[@Dunky09]

Great tackler but Joe Worsley was better. More technical whilst Burger would put in the showreel big hits.

[@mariadanielalavia8877]

Sometimes you just want to see some heads bang against the floor when watching rugby

[@Camcolito]

Tackling people like they owed him money.

[@JohnnyKreed]

Nah Brian Lima is better and brutal

[@FreakZAR]

Seen better, sry to say. He is good in an Avg team but will not make it in the BiG leagues..

[@xxxWheelchairsxxx313]

He played at the top for a long time you belter
