James Small (born 10 February 1969) is a former South African rugby union footballer who played on the wing for the Springboks. His international debut was against the All Blacks in 1992 and he made his final appearance against Scotland in 1997. He was the leading try scorer in the 1996 Super 12 season.
Small's career was marred by his verbal abuse, notably becoming the first Springbok to ever be sent off, as a result of dissent towards referee Ed Morison.[1] Small was also alleged by his teammate Chester Williams to have uttered racist abuse towards him in his authorised biography.[2]
Small attended Risidale Primary School and Greenside High School in Johannesburg, South Africa. Today he owns a number of restaurants including Café Caprice in Camps Bay.[3]
