Amen.

The tears are ours, and with his nearest and dearest. None of us know the time or the place, but he knew that and put his trust where it mattered.

Have decided once I get my shirt, I'll be getting Spence 13 on the back. It's the very least I can do as a fan.

Puts it into context that rugby is just a sport at the end of the day. There are far more important things in life for us to worry about.
Rest in peace Nevin Spence and the others who died so tragically today. It is a very very sad day for IRISH rugby.I would say more but I can't,I am totally gobsmacked.

It's been confirmed, heard it on BBC 5 Live. I meet him once, cheered him from the terrace many's a night. I didn't know him, he didn't know me for sure. Feel like a broken man tonight, simply awful.

From Conerflag...
It was with great sadness and deep regret that we learned of the sudden and tragic passing of Nevin, his father Noel and brother Graham in an accident on their family farm on Saturday afternoon. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Spence family at this extremely sad time.

Stand Up For Nevin Spence.

It was our privilege to watch you youngster.

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality.

Tragedy for the Spence family, now decimated in this tragedy. A loss to rugby as Nevin was a great prospect. Shortened memories of what potentially was going to be a very good rugby career.
