On January 16, 2006, he returned to the club system of the Western Cape , i.e. in Western Provins and Stormers [2] . His debut for the new club came in a match on February 16, 2006, against his former Cats team [3] . Over 4 seasons of performance in Super 14, he spent 51 matches and scored 4 attempts.
May 13, 2009 it was announced the transfer of Schalk to the English club Saracens [4] . September 5, 2009 he played the first match in the championship of England against the London Irish [5] . It was this transition that made it possible for the first time in his career to become a stable player in the main squad of his team, which helped Britons get the title of best player for the Saracens according to the results of the 2009/2010 season [6] .
May 28, 2011 Schalk won the championship of England , defeating the team in the finals of “ Leicester ”, and Brits himself spent all 80 minutes on the field and was named the player of the match [7] . In the same year, he was given a short-term lease to his former Stormers club to participate in the Super Rugby semifinal, instead of the injured Duan Vermeulen [8] .
On May 30, 2015, as part of the “ Saracens ”, he again won the championship of England , defeating the club “ Bat ” 16-28 [9] .

The first official match for Springbox , Brits played on June 21, 2008 in a test game with the Italian team, substituting in the 65th minute instead of Bismarck du Plessis [10] . In the same year, he fell into the team’s application for participation in the Three Nations Cup , at which he played two guest meetings with New Zealand [11] and Australia [12] , without noting effective actions.
The following calls to the team took place only in 2012 and 2013 on friendly tours of South Africans in the British Isles , where Schalk appeared four times to replace him.
