The death of Jerry Collins was keenly felt in New Zealand last night - especially in Napier where his former Hurricanes had the difficult task of playing after the news broke.
But it also reverberated in other parts of the world, especially in Samoa, Wales, Australia and France.
The Givealittle campaign, to help establish a trust fund for ex-All Black Jerry Collins newly orphaned daughter, has so far raised $21,276.62 in just two days.
Jerry Collins Memorial Fund Givealittle page established for Ayla received donations from 406 donors following the news both Jerry Collins and hispartner Alana Madill had been killed in a car accident in France on Friday.
Collins' agent Tim Castle said Ayla remained in critical condition and the outlook was uncertain, Radio NZ reported.
"That's the most accurate word I can give you at this time," he said.
