RIP The Judge

Post by Banquo »

Paul Rendall has passed away with MND at 69- sad, top player and top bloke. He only debuted for England when into his 30's but was an excellent intl.

He was a character as so many props were in the amateur days! MND is an evil way to go. It brings a lump to my throat to think I am four years older than he will ever be. Such is the lottery of health and life!

Hugely respected player at the time amongst his peers, I was just getting into rugby when he was in his prime. From what I have read over the past day he was a top bloke to boot. RIP indeed.

MND is far too prevalent amongst ex rugby players.
