One of, if not, the best scrum half of all time. Tragically gone at 45.

Motor neurone disease is horrible. So sad.
RIP.1 -
great player and so very brave .. I wonder if his disease was brought about by continuous bangs to the head in the days before concussion was taken seriously ....

Very sad news, a talented, feisty, scrum half - always a pleasure to watch him play in his prime (as long as it wasn't against Ireland).1

One of the best scum halfs Rugby has ever seen - certainly the most intimidating. 38 international tries as well - the most from a player in his position.
45 - no age whatsoever. RIP.2 -
Tragic. RIP0
