This is without doubt one of the most powerful things I have ever seen on youtube (apart from the one with that cat sticking its hands in the air).
John Kirwan was a feared rugby player to say the least and has turned himself into a very capable coach too. How humbling to see his warts and all insight into his struggle with depression, something that affects signifcantly more people than those diagnosed. As with Gareth Thomas coming out, it takes men who don't fit a stereotype to make people realise that stereotypes are in fact a load of s**t.
Its thirteen minutes long but please take the time to watch it. You won't regret it.
