We have joined the rugby world in paying tribute to Bernard Lapasset, former president of French Rugby Fédération and chair of World Rugby. WWR president Richard Allcroft lead a moving tribute, which was followed by a moment of applause in the stadium.
Bernard will be remembered as one of rugby’s great leaders, devoting his life to growing all aspects of the game including the development and promotion of wheelchair rugby. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.
