"Hux, you were a beautiful, funny, quality man and a great friend. A class act that your family can be so proud of and our Club is privileged that you chose us," Belsize RFC said.

The club has also set-up a page for friends and the wider rugby community to give them an opportunity to post a memory or message of condolence to James' family. http://bprfc.co.uk/james-hux-huxtable/.

Also teammate Lewis Dyke posted this message on UBRFC's Facebook page: 'For anyone who wanted to come to Hux's funeral, it will be held on Thursday 5th April in Taunton at St Mary Magdalene Church at 2:30pm, followed by a private cremation at 4pm and then on to Taunton Rugby Club for the wake.

'Family flowers and donations for The Wooden Spoon Society, the Rugby Charity for children.'
