Humbling to see such courage and dignity in the face of a battle he knows he can't win ! All the very best to him !! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/24943815 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Very brave man, wouldn't expect anything less from him, he played rugby with the same never say die attitude. My heart goes out to his family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ossie n Arch 1,683 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Never really liked him as a player, I thought he was a bit too sly and sneeky, bit of a cheat really. Suppose thats most scrum-halfs though. Having said all that it's not nice to see someone like that. I hope what life he has left is pain free and happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
