Photo: Getty ImagesFiji sevens coach Gareth Baber says a cruel hoax about him being killed in a New Zealand car crash is "sickening" and "horrible". The glonews360 website posted the story which claimed Baber was one of two people who had died in the fatal crash in the South Island. The fake report also contained biographical information about the 45-year-old Baber who played for Cardiff, Pontypridd, Oxford University, Aberavon, Bristol and the Dragons before becoming a sevens coach. In 2016 a fake news story reported about Baber's predecessor as a national sevens coach, Ben Ryan.
