"He was a tremendous servant to Warrington both as a player and as a coach. I got to know him when I played union at Munster and we shared a house together and he was one of life's true gentlemen."

Paul Darbyshire Loses Battle with MND
Paul Darbyshire
Diagnosed last September with Motor Neurone disease, he fought an inspiring battle against the illness before finally succumbing to it in the early hours of the morning.
News of his death was revealed to Munster players and management this morning in Thomond Park as they assembled for stage 2 of the Munster Rugby fundraising cycle. The cycle began yesterday with the opening leg from Cork to Limerick which was attended by his wife Lyndsay.
The cycle will continue to Roscrea RFC today and the final Irish stage will see the cyclists go from Portlaoise RFC to Trinity College (via Maynooth) tomorrow.
