RIP JAMES SMALL – TWITTER REACTS

Former Springbok wing James Small passed away on 10 July 2019 after succumbing to a heart attack.

Small was capped 47 times for the Springboks and scored 20 tries. Before he was overtaken by Joost van der Westhuizen and Bryan Habana, Small was the all-time leading try scorer for South Africa.

Small was also part of the Springbok 1995 World Cup winning squad where he famously marked Jonah Lomu in the final.

He made his international debut against the All Blacks in 1992. He played his final Test against Scotland in 1997 where he scored his 20th try eclipsing Danie Gerber’s record.

The winger also gained notoriety for his bad-boy image on and off the field. He was the first Springbok to ever be sent off in a match.
