Six Nations Championship.


Anthony died suddenly on October 16th 2016 aged 42 in Paris the day before Munster,

who he coached, were due to play Racing 92 in the European Rugby Championship Cup.

He died after a heart condition caused fluid to build up in his lungs, a French coroner said.

The condition, acute pulmonary oedema, was caused by "a heart rhythm disorder",

post-mortem tests revealed.
