Former opponents, such as England's Jonny Wilkison or former full-back Jason Robinson, Australian Tim Horan who remembers that "Domi" was the first to bring beers to the Wallabies' locker room after their victory at the expense of France in of the 1999 World Cup final, but also partners in the blue jersey or the Stade Français, such as Raphaël Poulain or Mike James.
And personalities such as singer Vianney, Jean-Luc Reichmann or Michel Denisot.
Dozens and dozens of tributes have flourished on social networks to say goodbye to Christophe Dominici.
The death of Christophe Dominici is terribly sad.
We think of all his relatives.
The world of sport has lost a true legend

Very very touched by this terrible and sad news of "my playing brother" Christophe Dominici, says Domi.

The disappearance of Christophe Dominici breaks my heart ... He made the little rugby player dream that I was, I loved talking with him & running alongside him for research against childhood cancer, which he supported faithfully.
