Literally the only rugby player I would switch the television over to watch.

Awesome athlete, would have made an unstoppable NFL running back.

Seemed like a nice guy too.

That is awful news, he was only 40. He had been ill for some time of course, & his career was shortened by his illness.

In full flight, he took a bit of stopping.

A real one of a kind.

This was v England in 1995, when he not so much danced round the England defence, he simply ran right over them.

A hero of mine growing up. I remember reading his autobiography after the 1995 World Cup. Inspirational man, inspirational story. RIP.

R.I.P.

Definitely the most entertaining player I ever watched on a Rugby pitch.

Absolutely loved the guy as a kid. He single handedly got me into watching Rugby.

I know nothing about Rugby but have seen plenty of his performances, he was one of those guys who transcended his sport. Seemed like a nice guy too.

Was watching some highlights from '95.

As well as the obvious attributes, I'd forgotten what an all round skilful player he was.
