“Ronnie Dawson was an iconic figure in Irish and international rugby, whose impact transcended many eras,” said Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) chief executive Kevin Potts.
“He made significant impressions as a player, coach, manager and administrator for Wanderers, Leinster, the Barbarians, the British & Irish Lions, World Rugby and Ireland.
“He was a quintessential leader and leaves a lasting legacy which will never be forgotten.
“We extend our sympathies to his daughters Sandra and Jackie, his son Nigel and a very wide circle of family and friends at this sad time.”
