    Sad news today from the world of International Rugby Union, a player, who was rightly considered one of the greatest ever scrum halves sadly lost his fight against ALS (motor neurone disease). He was a member of the famous 1995 Rugby World Cup winning team, and if you haven't seen it, the film, Invictus is a brilliant movie about the event and the Springboks team who lifted the trophy and helped to unite a country divided by apartheid and prejudice.

    The coffin of former South Africa rugby union captain Joost van der Westhuizen has been borne by his 1995 World-Cup-winning teammates at an official funeral service on Friday.

    The scrum-half, who won 89 caps and scored 38 tries for the Springboks between 1993 and 2003, died on Monday aged 45 after a six-year battle with motor neurone disease.
