Probably one of the best known players from the 1995 winning team. Very sad.

RIP Chester.

And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Very sad to hear the news. That's a fella who played some phenomenal rugby under pressure that it's difficult to imagine. May he rest in peace and may his memory live a long time.
