I was shocked to see a report on Supersport that Jerry Collins and his wife died in a vehicular crash in Southern France.  Their baby is in a critical condition in hospital.


He was a great rugby player and as captain of the All Blacks an example for many players to emulate.


My sympathy goes to his family and prayers for the full recovery of the Baby.

Very sorry to hear about Jerry and his family ....he was a very tough man. But man against run away steel is no contest. Enjoy yourselves, hug a kid, it's a temporary stay.

RIP Jerry ........... with the hairstyle he resembled a pint of Guinness, the original black & tan man . Apparently he was hit by a bus when he attempted to continue his journey after stopping on the motorway .

 ...Not how did he die, but how did he live?

Not what did he gain but what did he give?


These are the units to measure the worth

Of a man as a man, regardless of birth...

 A life well lived and generosity in full measure .His poor missus was driving and J erry was in the back seat with Bubs when she lost control veered across the lane and the oncoming bus was unable to stop in time .It looks like a mechanical fault at this stage .
