Former Gloucester lock Brain died suddenly on Sunday, May 27 at his home.
Brain (inset) balanced a career at Gloucester Trading Standards with racking up nearly 300 games for the Cherry and Whites.
After a stint at Bedford he returned to Kingsholm to coach alongside Phillipe Saint-Andre, before guiding Worcester Warriors to the Premiership for the first time as director of rugby at Sixways.
Brain returned to Gloucester in 2010 as a scout, before assuming the rugby operations and scrum coach roles in summer 2011.
His untimely death still leaves a gaping hole in Gloucester's backroom staff, more importantly in the Kingsholm psyche – and most vitally with his loving family.
Former Worcester captain Pat Sanderson will be among those paying tribute to Brain at the funeral service.
