Tendai Beast Mtawarira has mourned the late New Zealand rugby player Sean Wainui, who was killed in a single-vehicle accident when his car hit a tree near Tauranga.
Posting on Twitter, Mtawarira said it is sad to lose such a talented player in the rugby world.
“R.I.P brother. Sad to see a young man who had such a big future ahead of him taken away so soon . God be with your family brother. Rest with the angels”.
Wainui played 10 times for the Maori All Blacks and made 44 Super Rugby appearances for the Waikato Chiefs.
In June, he scored five tries against the NSW Waratahs – setting the record for the most tries by a player in a single Super Rugby match.
He also played for Bay of Plenty during the 2021 provincial rugby season.
