    The great sadness in hearing this news is a little tempered by thinking about what he achieved and how people responded to him as set out in these many kind messages. Two Cents for laid back insight, Squidge for pinpoint analysis (and great humour) and G Man for sheer infectious passion. As someone said, it's been about internet communities, and we just lost one of our great leaders. Very best wishes to his friends and family.

G-MAN took the time once to respond to admittedly my only comment on one of his videos, he was the very first comment I had ever made on RUclips and he responded... Well I felt amazed and humbled and starstruck, like I'd been responded to by the most famous celebrity! He made my whole year!!

    Im actually in a state of shock here. I found Gareth when he had like a hundred subscribers back in 2017. Our first interaction was the Autumn international when Ireland beat SA by like 40 points. His desire to get better at bringing us rugby content through his gregarious personality was infectious. He was so pumped and so excitable talking the sport we all love. His content did become quite heavy in recent years and after having a father who struggled for the best part of a decade with mental health (he is better now) I could see just how bad he was. It was tough to watch. Rest In peace Gman.

    He was brilliant. Knew far more about rugby than I ever will, just an Irish rugby blow in who came from a very non rugby part of my country, but he was fascinating. Truly missed. RIP.

  • @abrahamtomahawk
    @abrahamtomahawk 2 года назад +19

    As good as his rugby stuff was, it was really his open and honest discussion regarding his life and stories of his struggles that were on a different level. He was honest about both when he did well and when he tripped and fell (metaphorically speaking). People often only show their wins, but seeing when it doesn't go well is also very important. Keep standing tall!

    Thanks for this lovely tribute -- I was gutted when I heard the news. There was lots of sad and weird news this weekend in the rugby community in addition to G-Man's passing, like the tragic passing of Free Jack Terrell Peita's parents in Panguru, NZ, the report of an off-field accident where 9 Dallas Jackal players were injured, some pretty seriously, in the collapse of a 7-foot high walkway, and the default by Worcester Warriors because they couldn't field enough props for the game (I thought those kinds of cancellations were pretty much over after 2-years of pandemic disruptions). Fortunately, as Squidge would say, there was some rugby played by some people, and the levels of sportsmanship displayed by men and women around the globe reminds us of the best qualities of humanity. RIP G-man.

    My rugby you tube viewing began with the 1014 and G-man. Then it developed into you and Squidge, so without Gareth I wouldn't be here (on this channel), I didn't always agree with his perspective on everything but he certainly made me consider things in a different light with his passion.
    Depression has touched my family and you're right, it is a bastard. Last year a 19 year old young man, with seemingly everything to live for, took his own life. Those of us who knew him are still reeling from it and his mum is broken into pieces. If anyone reading this is feeling not quite right or you notice a mate is quiet or just a bit off , talk to someone, please.
