Some legendary All Blacks remembered Jerry Collins with an epic version of the haka

Moving stuff.

This is special.

Since Jerry Collins and his partner were killed in an accident in France last week, the world of rugby has been emotionally remembering the All Blacks bruiser. There have been some really nice tributes from people in the sport but some of his former team-mates have just done the most moving one yet.

Prop Neemia Tialata as well as Carl Hayman, Chris Masoe, Ali Williams and Byron Kelleher got together and performed a rousing version of the haka on the side of the road.

It looks like the players gathered on the spot where the tragedy took place, which makes it all the more emotional.
