Rugby club in shock over death of Samoa star
The death of Samoan back-row forward Kelly Meafua, who died after jumping from a bridge into a river while celebrating a win, has left his club in shock. Meafua’s club Montauban confirmed the 32-year-old had not survived the incident in the early hours of Saturday morning despite the efforts of a teammate, named as prop Christopher Vaotoa in French media reports, who jumped into the water but was unable to save him. Vaotoa himself was taken to hospital with hypothermia but was discharged in good health on Saturday.
