(Reuters) - Canterbury Crusaders brought the ACT Brumbies' winning streak against New Zealand sides to an end as Scott Robertson's side secured a 37-26 win in Canberra that moves them level on points with the Australians in the Super Rugby standings.
Tributes are being paid to former Australia and Lancashire cricket star Andrew Symonds, who has died in a car crash aged 46. Police say they are investigating the single-vehicle accident that occurred in Queensland at 11pm on Saturday night (May 14).
Former Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds has died in a car crash aged 46.
Canterbury Crusaders brought the ACT Brumbies' winning streak against New Zealand sides to an end as Scott Robertson's side secured a 37-26 win in Canberra that moves them level on points with the Australians in the Super Rugby standings.
Andrew Symonds, who has died aged 46, was widely considered one of the most skilled all-rounders Australian cricket has seen, routinely thumping runs and taking wickets. Affectionately nicknamed "Roy", he was also a rebel.
Symonds' sudden death triggered an outpouring of emotional tributes in the cricketing world with a host of past and present players, including his Australian teammates and international stars, expressing shock and disbelief at the tragic news. From former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist and pacer Jason Gillespie to India's Harbhajan Singh and Sachin Tendulkar, tributes poured in for the flamboyant all-rounder, who died in a car accident on Saturday night in Queensland.
Symonds, who died on Saturday night in a car crash aged 46, was instantly recognisable on the cricket field with a mop of dreadlocks poking out from his baggy green cap and lips gleaming with white zinc cream. A hulking presence at 6ft 2in (1.87m) with a grin as broad as his shoulders, he was a supremely talented all-rounder equally at home bowling spin or lively medium-pace.
Proteas legend Jonty Rhodes says Andrew Symonds was "arguably the greatest all-round fielder ever" following the Australian's death on Saturday night.
