Tributes have been paid after Welsh rugby cult hero Brandon Cripps died following a short stay in hospital.
The former prop represented Wales B and the Barbarians during a 25-year career that brought him more than 650 appearances for a host of Gwent clubs.
Cripps was regarded as unfortunate to not play for his country, with Wales and Lions legend and friend Bobby Windsor often telling him "how you never had a cap, I will never know".
