New Zealand stars take World Cup trophy to Jerry Collins's grave

New Zealand's World Cup stars visit the grave of former All Blacks player Jerry Collins with the Webb Ellis Cup.

New Zealand's rugby stars paid their respects to Jerry Collins by taking the World Cup trophy to his grave.

Collins, who used to play for the All Blacks as a back-rower, died in a car crash alongside his partner Alana Madill in June, while their baby daughter Ayla needed life-saving treatment in hospital.

Earlier this week, Dan Carter, Liam Messam, Sonny Bill Williams, Ma'a Nonu and Jerome Kaino visited Collins's grave with the Webb Ellis Cup to commemorate Collins's 35th birthday.

On Instagram, Carter wrote: "Good to share this one with the brother. Love you JC."

New Zealand became the first team to retain the World Cup trophy and win the tournament three times.
