A rugby legend has died aged 40. A giant of a man and a giant of All Black playing.

The man was revolutionary for the game, totally changed the face of the 'winger' position. He was a man mountain, who was mesmerising to watch on the pitch.

Sad sad day indeed, Even as an avid England armchair supporter, I watched him destroy us and still had to smile, R.I.P. Big Fella.

Truly a sad sad day.
The world of sport and in particular the game of rugby union has lost a hero and by all counts one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet.
A credit to his country and to the sport that he passionately played... RIP big man.

I'm shocked! He was and still is the best-of-the-best regardless of position. A sad day indeed.

Truly an inspirational man, awesome and humble. Loved his family, the game and supporters. RIP fella!
Just watched the video and it brought so many memories back. Not just his speed, but the power he had whilst running and the force he put into some of those hand offs would have made Mike Tyson proud. Not to mention the first time we saw him role England over ( and litterally run straight over Mike Catt ) it was like watching schoolboys playing against adults. Awesome is the only word that describes his rugby, and my Kiwi friends tell me he was the most kind approachable guy they ever met.
