Today, the rugby world mourns the loss of a true legend, JPR Williams.

Regardless of which team or country you cheered for, his passing is a moment of profound sadness for rugby fans.

Our deepest condolences go out to his family and former teammates.

One of the greatest ever Lions.

A man who inspired so many.

It is with huge sadness to learn that JPR Williams has passed away at the age of 74.

All our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Rest in Peace.
