The rugby world was left heartbroken when the announcement was made.
According to SA Rugby, Small was rushed to hospital in Johannesburg on Tuesday night after suffering from a suspected heart attack.
James will forever be remembered for being a victorious member of the Springbok side at the Rugby World Cup in 1995. He was responsible for blocking the biggest monster in rugby, Jonah Lomu, and played 47 Tests for the Springboks between 1992 and 1997, scoring 20 tries.
He is the third member of the 1995 Rugby World Cup team to have died. Loose forward Ruben Kruger died from brain cancer in 2010 and scrumhalf Joost van der Westhuizen from motor neuron disease in 2017.
