For that relatively short bracket in your whole life where you play physical sport to any level you pack your kit, leave the house and fully expect to return a bit stiffer/sorer than before hours later...these thing happen so so infrequently but they do happen and it saddens me to think of this blokes life being over. Thoughts with both squads who are having to deal with it.

Sad for anyone who knew him well. Being an ex Rugger at Saxa and Buchan games can be rough. Don't wish to appear nosey when did the forces introduce Rugby League. I've only knew them playing Union.
