Oh, man. That's very, very sad indeed. The giant of the game, head and shoulders above everyone else, only a few years ago.

Farewell.

He was only 40. That's no age at all.

I will never forget seeing him run over the England team like a man-shaped tank.

I still can't believe this. I know he had health issues, yet he looked pretty good, whenever the media's gaze turned his way at the RWC.

Though a big man, crossing the whitewash with panache and flair weren't alien concepts to him. He was also devastating in wrecking ball mode, a master of the Maori side-step as he demonstrated in that famous RWC England/NZ game.
