News24 reports that tributes have been pouring in on social media for rugby player Ashwill Sauls who died during a rugby match in Robertson in the Western Cape on Saturday.
The young father's ribs were broken, puncturing his lungs, and leading to his death during a match between his team, the Robertson Rangers, and Montagu Villagers. Boland Rugby Union president Bennie van Rooi said it was just "one big accident" and not an illegal tackle that caused his injuries. Van Rooi said Sauls' death was "a sad day for his family but also the whole rugby fraternity". "Our deepest sympathy goes to Ashwill's family. We will give his family and club the necessary support and ensure that counselling is available," he indicated. Botrivier Rugby Club said as a club, they were rocked by Sauls' sudden death. The club described him as a talented player who had much to give.
