PARIS - Former rugby international Christophe Dominici, who was found dead at the age of 48 in a park near Paris on Tuesday, was undoubtedly one of the legends of modern French rugby.
His second-half try in a remarkable semi-final, ducking between two All Blacks to grab a bouncing ball one-handed before skating down the left touchline, put the French ahead for the first time as they overturned a 14-point deficit to reach the final. Former Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll, who faced Dominici several times on the field echoed the thoughts of many in the rugby world when he tweeted:"Very sad to hear of the sudden passing of Christophe Dominici. A French player full of flair with huge success throughout his career. May he RIP."Dominici, who police said was seen by a witness jumping from the roof of a disused building in the Saint-Cloud park, also enjoyed a glittering club career.
