Rugby union fan here in piece. Sad, sad news to hear Rob burrows has finally left us. Unfortunately it was always going to be this outcome by my god did he fight it with such incredible bravery and dignity. A legend on and off the pitch, I genuinely feel for his family and friends.

I'm not a Rugby League fan, but what a brave guy. Very sad to see someone who achieved what he did as a sportsman decline so quickly. I suppose It's the fragility of the human condition. I always admired Kevin Sinfield running those marathons for his mate. I'm sure he'll be devastated. RIP.
