Reportedly with blood clots on his brain. Hopefully he comes through ok.

MICHAEL Lynagh - one of Australia's greatest rugby union players - is in a Brisbane hospital after reportedly suffering a stroke.

The Courier-Mail understands Lynagh, 48, was visiting his hometown of Brisbane when he became ill. The Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital confirmed that Lynagh was at the hospital but declined to comment further.

And at my age...hope he recovers...my mother suffered her first stroke at age 37 and whilst partially recovered from that, she then suffered a major one at age 45 and spent the rest of her life in hospital til she died at age 51...so hope it doesn't happen to him or anyone else for that matter...

Wow... Having seen firsthand what a stroke can do to a person, I hope he makes a solid recovery.

FORMER Queensland Reds and Wallabies captain Michael Lynagh is in a stable condition after suffering a stroke, Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) says.
Lynagh, 48, was admitted to Royal Brisbane Hospital on Monday complaining of headaches and blurred vision.

Doctors were initially unsure of the illness that struck him down.

But a QRU statement released today says he suffered a stroke.

He is still in Royal Brisbane Hospital undergoing tests to determine the cause, the statement says.

Lynagh's former teammate Andrew Slack told ABC Radio the illness came as a shock to those who know him.

"There's not a lot known but he's stayed very fit since retiring some years ago," the former Wallaby captain said.

"I think this is a bolt out of the blue, there's no doubt about that

Hope he gets well soon.

You'd have to think that this is really rare. I'd imagine Noddy would have been in the lowest risk categories due to being a fit and healthy non-smoker (I'm assuming he's a non-smoker).

I loved seeing him comment on Aus S15 games live in early morning London when I watched the Tahs v Reds game Rnd 1 from London in February (as it happens, in the home of top flight rugby 'new media' baron).

On screen, he looked and sounded in great shape.

Strokes are an incideous things. Hopefully in Noddy's case the symptoms were recognised and he was treated early. This improves the out look no end.

We all need to remember F. A. S. T.

Face - Has the person's face dropped?
Arms - Can they lift both arms?
Speech / Smile - Is their speech slured or incomprehensible? When they smile is it lopsided / uneven?
Time - Time is critical. Call 000.

Chin up Noddy, all the best champ. I can't stop thinking about the end of his career in Australia when he took a couple of sickening head knocks that put him out of the game for a while. I was sitting about 20 metres away from where he got knocked out whilst playing for Queensland against Fiji. The sound of the knock made me want to vomit.

Always had a very measured and considered response.
