    The rugby league community is in mourning following the sudden passing of former Dragons and Sharks back-rower Lance Thompson

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    He's been found dead at his home in Cronulla, aged 40.

    Thompson's former team-mates have taken to social media to pay tribute to him.

    All Blacks midfield back Sonny Bill Williams played against Thompson and has
    extended his condolences to his family in an interview with Alan Jones on 2GB.



    Lance Thompson played 201 games for the Dragons after making his debut as a
    17-year-old.

    He retired in 2008 after three seasons with the Sharks.
