Jacobus Pieter Naude, better known as Tiny Naude (2 November 1936 – 28 December 2006) was a South African rugby union player who represented the Springboks from 1963 to 1968 (14 selections). He played second row (1.94 m and 109 kg). He was also a goalscorer.[3][4]
Career
editTiny Naude played with the Western province. With the Springboks, he made his first test match on September 7, 1963, against the Australian team, the last game of its tour in South Africa. This ended with a record of two victories everywhere, Naudé contributing by six points to the victory of the Springboks, a try and a penalty1. His last test match was carried out on July 27, 1968 against the Lions during their 1968 summer tour. He is known to be one of the few forwards to have a scoring role: thus, in 1965, he put an end to a series of seven consecutive defeats of Springboks, by registering the penalty which gives the victory to his team vis-a-vis the All Blacks1. He finally played fourteen games in the jersey of the Springboks: three against Australia, three against the All Blacks in 1965, four against the Frande and four against the Lions. He scored 47 points, with two tries, against Australia in 1963 and the Lions in 1968, eleven transformations and four transformations1,2.

In literature
editThobela 'Tiny' Mpayipheli, a character from the Dead at Daybreak[6] and Devil's Peak[7] books written by South African novelist Deon Meyer, was nicknamed after the giant Springbok lock Tiny Naude.[6] The 'Tiny' nickname is contradictory as both the rugby player and the character are giant people.
