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.
