RIP Brooke

Rugby world devastated by Brooke Morris' death

 

[Officer Dibble]

We really need a national campaign on the dangers of going near rivers after drinking alcohol.

I know we have no idea if it played a factor here, she could have slipped and been unable to get herself out, but we are losing far too many young people to rivers whilst they are on nights out.

I agree. Its too many

In a Facebook post, Nelson RFC said she "epitomised all that's good in a team built on fun, love and friendship".

Ms Morris had an "infectious personality" and was an "absolute maverick on and off the field", her club added.

"Whilst Nelson RFC and the Belles have remained private this past few days, the support and compassion within the club, the community and the rugby fraternity will leave a long lasting mark on all that felt it," they wrote.

"Whilst the messages pour in, our thoughts and prayers are first and foremost with Brooke's family and close friends.

"Brooke, you lived your life like you played your rugby, a carefree bundle of energy. Run free beautiful girl."
