(Photo by Kazuhiro NOGI / AFP)Being told he was too small to make it in rugby acted as the spur for South Africa’s World Cup winning scrum-half Faf de Klerk to prove the doubters wrong, he told The Times.The 28-year-old was pivotal in the Springboks’ impressive World Cup campaign in Japan last year climaxing with a 32-12 thrashing of England.While he says off the pitch he is “a very easygoing, fun guy”, opposing players whether in Tests or in the English Premiership — he plays for the Sale Sharks — see a very different side to him on the pitch.However, he admits standing at only 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 metres) he had to develop a feisty side.“It definitely has something to do with it,” he said.“Especially growing up, always being told: I’m too small, I’ll never make it.“From a young age, I wanted to show that I can make the tackles that the big guys do, that I can do all the physical stuff.“I wanted to prove to them that I can do what they say I can’t.”De Klerk, capped 30 times since making his Test debut in the 2-1 home series win over Ireland in 2016, says he has to always be snapping at the heels of his opponents to let them know he is around.“The other thing is: if I’m not going to go 100 per cent against these guys, I’m going to come off second best,” he said.“So I need to give everything to stay in the fight.”He says he was just the same when he played cricket and was a wicketkeeper.De Klerk’s success at Sale has also acted as a magnet for several fellow South Africans to come to the club, in some cases acting as a recruiting sergeant.
