... incredibly sad news of a true sporting great that has passed away aged only 40 ... watching him was what first peaked my interest in Rugby Union and persuaded me that footie was not the only team sport worth watching ... (although in fairness women's nude volleyball also had an impact...) http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/34853536 RIP Jonah - the term legend is too often used, but not in this case
He did bring rugby alive to the usually uninterested masses including myself The sports certainly better off because of his influence.
