Default RIP Gareth Jones

the 28 year old Neath rugby player died after injuring his neck against Cardiff in April

he leaves a wife and 2 children - horrific to think that a 'game' can wreck a family like this

Recall the initial incident, terrible news. Thats the huge risk when you play Rugby I guess.
Thoughts with family, colleagues and friends. RIP.

A lad that used to go to my school broke his neck in rugby training about a year or so ago and is now in a wheel chair

Sometimes when I see scums, rucks etc and the way they can collapse and the way people get buried under a load of massive blokes i just can't believe there are more serious injuries
