The lock was taken to hospital by air ambulance having collapsed in the changing room following the Oxfordshire club’s opening day National Two South defeat against Old Albanian.

A statement issued by Henley chairman Chris Nixon said: “Dave was a gentle giant, strong family man, great friend to many and a much loved and highly-respected member of our club.

    Matt Dawson and Mike Brown reminisce

    “Our thoughts go out to his wife Katherine, his young son, close family and all his friends within our club.

    “He will be so greatly missed.”

    A GoFundMe page to help support his wife, Katherine and son, Tore has been set up as they look to re-build their lives following this tragic event.

    Tributes included a Twitter post from the sport’s governing body in England.

    Saturday’s opponents Old Albanian added that as part of the rugby family “if we can offer any support we will be delighted to do so.”

    Hyde began his career with Oxfordshire junior club Witney who paid a fulsome tribute.

    And former England international Duncan Bell added his voice.

    As did England’s fourth most capped women’s international.

    Clubs across the length and breadth of England have taken to Twitter to voice their support for Henley plus the second row’s friends and family. Typical of these was the post from former Wales forward Phil Davies.

    Why Les Kiss and Stuart Lancaster can lead Australia to glory

    “Explain clearly how that’s not an achievement?”

    It is an achievement. It is less of an achievement than he managed with Barcelona. You said that ”He has gotten better with age. By every measure.” He hasn’t. Doesn’t mean he isn’t still extremely good though!


    ”I thought you don’t care what certain managers did 10 years ago…”

    are you really this incapable of understanding the context of what I’m saying? My point is that Gatland was a good coach ten years ago, and isn’t a good coach now. So what he did ten years ago is relevant to whether he was good ten years ago - that is pretty basic stuff.

    On the other hand, what Les Kiss did ten years ago isn’t relevant to how good he is now, just as what Gatland did ten years ago isn’t relevant to how good he is now.


    ”So you haven’t watched even a minute of Super Rugby this year?”

    I was replying to your comment, given you have the memory of a goldfish and are unable to scroll up, I’m remind you what you said:

    “Ireland won a long over due slam in 2009. The last embers of a golden generation was kicked on by a handful of young new players and a new senior coach. Kiss was brought in as defence coach and was the reason they won it. They’d the best defence in the game at the time. He all but invented the choke tackle. Fittingly they backed it up in the next world cup in their 2011 pool match against… Australia. The instantly iconic image of Will Genia getting rag-dolled by Stephen Ferris.”
