Former French rugby international Christophe Dominici has died suddenly aged 48.

The retired winger won 67 caps for Les Bleus and starred in the 1999 World Cup side which famously beat the All Blacks in the semi-final before finishing runners-up to Australia.

RIP Christophe <rose>

Thanks for that Taff <rose>

That game was the biggest comeback since Lazarus, something like 30 odd unanswered second half points.

The ultimate cliche applies - A game of two halves

Canapé - Bruschetta <ok>

Nick, I looked on the website of Le Figaro:

“Christophe Dominici was found dead Tuesday in the park of Saint-Cloud, near Paris, we learned from corroborating sources. The ex-Stade Français winger, who was 48 years old, climbed on the roof of an abandoned building in the early afternoon before jumping, said a police source. According to a judicial source, who confirmed the player's death, a witness saw the former player fall from 10 meters. An investigation to search for the causes of death was opened by the Nanterre public prosecutor's office (Paris region).”

Very sad.

Oh no, that is absolutely tragic
Thank goodness that sportsmen in particular are speaking out about mental health. Long may it continue
