Aye to this. RIP Baler
We are devastated to share that our great friend Steve Bale has passed away. A giant of our trade, he covered 400 Tests, seven World Cups and seven Lions tours for the Western Mail, Independent, Express and Sunday Times. We remember his talent, his warmth, and his singing.

A dear friend and great colleague, Baler was a stalwart of the rugby-writing community. Through the tears I’d better make sure my syntax is up to scratch in paying tribute or he would be on my case. Steve will be missed grievously by many.
The worst-news story, which will sadden people through rugby across the world. Steve Bale has lost his battle with illness; only saving grace is that Owen and Lara, who both live in the USA were with him together with Fleur. He wrote beautifully for a galaxy of newspapers, was dearly loved throught the sport and way beyond. My dear mate on decades of touring
