You heard about that in the Netherlands? 

You can safely assume that a good chunk of the people on this forum are not Rugby supporters, but Jonah in some ways transcended Rugby. He battled health problems for most of his career and is an example of succeeding based on both talent and also grit and determination despite some pretty severe odds stacked against him. Despite his success and profile he always appeared humble and did a lot for charity. And of course its mostly a shock because he was only 40 and had seemed healthy as recently as a couple of days ago if social media is to be believed.

Thanks for the condolences.
