April 19<\/span> (Reuters) – Former Australia captain and 1991 rugby
\nWorld Cup winner Michael Lynagh is in a Brisbane hospital after
\nsuffering apparent blood clots in his brain, local media
\nreported on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The 48-year-old Lynagh was admitted on Monday after becoming
\nill while visiting the Queensland capital, News Limited
\nnewspapers reported.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Former Australian captain Andrew Slack told the Daily
\nTelegraph Lynagh had been experiencing vision problems in one
\neye but doctors were not certain what was the cause.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“He is in intensive care and that’s a measure to monitor him
\nand to be in the right place, but more for them to actually work
\nout precisely what is going on,” Slack was quoted as saying by
\nthe newspaper.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is obviously some artery block somewhere…whether it
\nis he has just come from the UK, it’s a long-haul flight and it
\nis a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) thing. Or anything else. They’re
\nnot 100 per cent sure, so they’re monitoring him.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The unflappable flyhalf played 72 tests for the Wallabies
\nand was instrumental in Australia winning the 1991 World Cup,
\nwith a match-winning try in their quarter-final against Ireland
\nafter they had conceded a late try and appeared destined to
\ncrash out of the tournament.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Lynagh retired from international rugby in 1995 and moved to
\nLondon where he played club rugby for Saracens. He has remained
\nin Britain since he ended his playing career.<\/p>\n
