    I’ve played with and against richie on the Gold Coast. He’s a great guy and a good coach for his team.

      Yeah man I saw a lot of his coaching vids and he seems to be loving it

    A video on Zac Guildford would fit this format pretty well. Nevertheless, a great video as per usual!

    Pneumonia just means an infection in your lung of some kind. Usually bacteria or viruses. Double pneumonia means both lungs are infected.

    Another fascinating deep dive with good graphics thank you. Very unusual to get that sick with pneumonia in his age group but it can present differently in young fit people and they compensate well. (Double pneumonia is not a diagnosis used in medicine. It just means it is in both lungs) I am so pleased, and amazed frankly, that he got back to playing rugby again! What resilience.

      Wow thanks for the info! Most of the info there came from a first hand account he gave so I wasn't sure but now you've cleared that up.

    I remember Kingi from the 7s series, he was a star, unfortunate it didn't turn out well for him.

    This is a good series, there are a number of young players who over the years who have faded away. Knowing their stories is interesting.

    Normally this is where we step in and say he lived the life we would have loved, playing top class rugby!! But in his case not so sure! Glad he's ok!
