In an interview with Huisgenoot, his mother Corrie said that Faf is like a Jack Russell. 

"He is like a small Jack Russel, but with the heart of a lion."

Rian, Philicity, and Joe Mann caught up with Faf's father to share some of his embarrassing childhood memories of Faf. 

"We never thought he would become a rugby player. He was more into cricket.

"When he was smaller, he wanted a mouthguard - but I told him he is too small. 

"I went to one of his games - and I saw he was wearing a mouthguard. He proudly said that he stole it from the number 5 player."
