Springbok scrum-half, Faf de Klerk has apologized to fans for missing the Durban and East London leg of the Rugby Champions’ Trophy Tour.
This after disappointed fans from both cities took to social media to express how they waited for hours to meet and catch a glimpse of the player who was a no-show.
Taking to his Instagram, Faf shared an Instagram story explaining why he missed Durban on Saturday, and the Eastern Cape (East London) on Sunday.
“I want to apologise to every fan that was at the trophy tour in Durban and East London.
I was at a family funeral and had to be there for my family. Hope everyone understands and enjoyed it.”

The fan-favourite was present at the Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town tours, and Bok fans in Durban and East London felt they were robbed because a number of players didn’t make the last two legs of the trophy tour.
Siya Kolisi also missed the Durban tour as he was attending a wedding, and Cheslin Kolbe didn’t attend because he was celebrating his 30th birthday.
Handre Pollard, who announced his wife is expecting their first child also missed the Durban and East London tours.
