Force Halfback’s wife killed
Tragic news that the Western Force’s Chris Eaton is grieving after his wife died in a car accident in his home country, New Zealand.
Reserve halfback Eaton was withdrawn from Sunday’s match against the NSW Waratahs in Sydney and flew across the Tasman after his 25-year-old wife Hannah was killed when the BMW she was driving collided with an SUV near Thames on Saturday night.
Our thoughts are with Chris and his family.
