More sad news coming out of New Zealand.
Norman Berryman, who was capped for the All Blacks against South Africa in 1998, passed away suddenly after suffering a heart attack in Australia yesterday at the age of 42.
Berryman was a dynamic centre who combined great size - he was just 5ft 11' but weighed 17 stone - with pace, in the manner of Mathieu Bastareaud.

Berryman was part of the Crusaders side that won three Super Rugby titles in-a-row between 1998-2000 and also had stints with Castres and Bourgoin in France.

Berryman's sudden passing comes just a few weeks after legendary flanker Jerry Collins and his partner were killed in a road accident in France.
