Jerry Collins and wife killed in car crash

I'm genuinely shocked. The great Jerry Collins, 48 cap New Zealand rugby flanker and former All Black captain has been killed along with his wife in a horrific car crash in France. Their baby daughter, now an orphan, is airlifted to hospital in critical condition.

A monstrous and truly great player ..... but an all round good guy. Forget the stuff about his All Black exploits, read this article to see what he was like as a bloke.

Tragic loss.
