Flying Fijians assistant coach Jason Ryan who was one of the team members who tested positive for COVID-19 in France last year has revealed how he feared for the worst after being rushed to the hospital.
Fiji was due to play France in an Autumn Nations Cup before the outbreak saw 29 members infected at the team base.
The Crusaders assistant coach says he got so sick with the virus that he gave phone numbers of loved ones to doctors in case things got worse.
Ryan says the situation was really scary and it was day four or five when he realized what had hit him.
He says for the next four or five nights he was sweating and there was one stage where he changed the bed sheet three or four times a night.
Ryan adds he felt like his body was shutting down and he was walking around like an old man.
He says his breathing became so problematic that he could only draw about a quarter of a usual breath.
