Arturas Rudy, 27, had been playing a match with Wisbech RUFC yesterday when tragedy struck. Arturas Rudys' partner, Jolita Kiseliovaite, posted that he 'just passed away' while playing against Diss.
Launching a GoFundMe page to support her, she said "Hello all! My name is Jolita. I'm a girlfriend of Arturas Rudys (25.12.1995).
"We have been together four years, also we have a little child Emilijus. He is only two years old.
"My partner just passed away on the rugby competition in Wisbech.
"It's been very quickly and like in a dream. Person from another team while running, hurt Arturas chest or neck, after this he didn't get up.
"It's very very hard time for us right now.. I can't give up, I have to live and show the right path to our child.
"I have never asked for money yet, but I want to reach out to you and ask for help. Thank you all."
