It is with great sadness that I and the rest of the London Wasps squad and staff heard of Mark's untimely death at the weekend. To lose anyone, but particularly a lad of his young age, with such a bright future, is devastating.

On behalf of myself and Wasps, we offer our sincerest condolences and our thoughts and sympathies are with Mark's family and friends at this difficult time. Lawrence Dallaglio
