Reports of former all black jerry collins has been killed along with his wife in a car accident in France their baby daughter was also with them at the time and was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
 
he was certainly a legend in the rugby world. was amazed to see him signed at the ospreys and bumped into him in the academy car park once. for such a beast on the pitch he was a really nice guy. too young to go.
 
Such sad news.

I knew the name but not much about him. Loved the account of how he came to play a game for Barnstaple Rugby Club while on holiday in Devon. (link here)
 
He was a monster when he played - there's some outstanding footage around the web of some epic tackles he made.

Such a tragic story..
 
Saw him play many times for the Ospreys and twice for the AB's. A tragic loss of both him and his wife.
 
Never heard of him!

Me neither.
Collins was one of the finest rugby union players the world has ever seen in the position he played. He was only a young man and his daughter,if she pulls through, has lost her father and mother in this accident.

A simple google search would have educated you in this subject.
 
Great Blindside Flanker one of the hardest tacklers I've ever seen, and from what I hear a great man off the field as well.

Damn shame it happened I hope the bairn pulls through.
