Reports that former Brumbies/Wallabies/Reds coach has suffered a stroke.

Not sure how serious but thoughts with him and his family.

This is the follow up tweet from the reporter you retweeted.

"@shintarokano: Apparently Eddie is conversing normally so it doesn't look like a repeat of Ivica #Osim in football few years ago"

Terrible news. I hope it's a minor thing, and Eddie is back to full capacity soon.

 

[Baldric]

I wish him well.

Poor bugger. Speedy recovery.

"The doctors said he was showing signs of a light cerebral infarction, and he was hospitalised for examination."

There is a very high incidence of strokes in Japan, too much salt in the diet (all that soy sauce).

Get well soon, Eddie, you were a gutsy little bugger on the field.

 

[boyo]

Too much salt in the diet can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).

Eddie has been released from hospital.

Jones is due to hold a news conference on Friday to explain about his condition, look back on the past year and outline his plans as Japan coach for 2014, the union said.
