RIP <3

Good Evening Everyone :-)

Than you Pat for posting this very sad news.
I'd not heard about it so I looked it up.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/55056643

Christophe Dominici was only 5 foot 6 inches- very small for a Rugby Player. But boy could he run!

Christophe was part of the France Squad that knocked the mighty New Zealand All Blacks out of the Rugby World Cup in 1999

MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU (Match Version)

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

Gwlad, gwlad,
pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Gwlad, gwlad,
