England rugby legend Jason Robinson has been left devastated by the death of Va'aiga Tuigamala after revealing the All Black legend helped save him from the brink of suicide.
Robinson has previously spoken of Tuigamala's influence during their days together at English rugby league side Wigan, saying he helped drag him away from a life of heavy drinking as he struggled with the professional environment.
The World Cup winner said he considered taking his own life when things started to spiral out of control and he was arrested in the mid 1990s for affray, assault and criminal damage.
