[TibetanBlue]

Terrible news
Condolences to his family, the team and fans
What on earth happened? So young

[Eugene Wrayburn]

I still can't quite believe it. Appalling news.

[Digby]

No it doesn't seem believable, I was just driving back from the pub and thought initially he'd been fired after listening to 5Live for a couple of minutes. It is shocking, and one's heart goes out to his family.

[Vengeful Glutton]

Can't believe it. Goodbye Axel. Thanks for all the memories.

[Doorzetbornandbred]

Way too young, RIP.

[Discreet Hooker]

Very sad . RIP .

42 is nothing

One of my favourite players. Reminded me a lot of Dean Richards, didn't run about much but always seemed to be where he needed to be. Sad loss.

Sad news. RIP

[paddy no 11]

Terrible news

Listening to some of the commentary, he gave away 5 penalties and 1 yellow card in 60 Ireland caps and nearly 200 munster caps, that's incredible, there's numbskulls out there who'd give that away in 1 game. RIP

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Funeral in Kilaloe on Friday. My Munster flag has been flying since Sunday and will stay out until he is away.
