Tiercel 6,986 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) As some may have heard Jerry Collins and his wife Alana were killed in a car crash in France, his young daughter who was in the car is critical in a French hospital. This is the measure of the man who was a tackling machine on the field and the perfect gentleman off it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/33025064 RIP Jerry.
