Small, a key member of the Springboks side who lifted the 1995 Rugby World Cup trophy, scored 20 tries in 47 tests between 1992 and 1997. “He always played with the type of passion and courage that encapsulate what Springbok rugby stands for, and he lived his life in the same way,” South Africa Rugby president Mark Alexander said in a statement.
Known for his aggressive style of play, Small was the first South African to be sent off in a test when it was rare in rugby, banished in a match against Australia in 1993.
