TThe daughter of former All Black Jerry Collins who was seriously injured in a car crash in France which killed Collins and his partner, remains in a serious condition but is showing signs of improvement.
Collins’ manager Tim Castle said Ayla remains in a critical condition but has “improved a little” overnight.
“Ayla’s care and recovery is central to all of our endeavours at this time, as the record shows, little Ayla is three months old, and she was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
“The news today is that her condition has improved a little, which is wonderful for the family. She remains nevertheless in a very serious condition and the circumstances are being monitored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, by the rugby club and the others we have on the ground down there, hour by hour and our hopes are of course that she will recover.”
Castle would not say the extent of Ayla’s injuries.
“The medical information is being kept confidential at this time, she is under very strict and very close care. I’m aware of some details but they are confidential at this time.”
Castle said the details about who would raise Ayla were “a long way away from being worked through”.
“There are two things which are dominant at the moment: one is to make sure that we are providing continuing support for the care that Ayla needs, that’s the first thing, and the second thing is really, as soon as possible, when time permits, we would want Jerry coming home.”
However, Castle did say that fellow rugby players Neemia Tialata and Chris Masoe were on the way to be with Collins “and to be with little Ayla”.
