New Zealand rugby pundits give emotional tribute to Joeli Vidiri & Va'aiga Tuigamala | The Breakdown

[@kubinka879]

Far too young to be lost, great rugby players and great people. Had the privilege of watch Va'aiga Tuigamala playing in the U.K. an absolute gem of a player. So sad.

[@taraishot100]

I remember watching Inga when I was 4 years old my first memories of rugby was Inga he was a huge star before Jonah came along.. Man Joeli just brings back memories

[@Sulu-sw3zo]

So sad. Thoughts and prayers to both families and friends of these fine men. Thank you for the memories, go well. Manuia lau malaga.

[@delythlemon5820]

2 Legends they were awesome to watch when I was a child and they are a big part of why I love new Zealand rugby! I'm shocked they where far to young God will welcome them.

[@fijianz1]

2 legends gone too soon... awesome stories guys !!

[@rockkid8306]

The story about Inga and Eroni taking Jeff out for dinner is so cool!

[@fiji82bad]

Thank you boys, for that lovely tribute. You really did them both proud. ❤️

[@merlin5420]

8:49 Andre Joubert no slouch got absolutely smoked! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽

[@maysionetali6943]

Just seeing this now it sadden to greats gone to early. They played hard, were humble Polynesian men. Another 2 great Legends forming their team upstairs.

[@merlin5420]

1 year on and it’s still a shock that Inga and Joeli are no longer with us! Also a time to think of the bros Jonah, Norm Berryman, Jerry Terminator Collins, Sione Lauaki, Dylan Mika. 🙏🏽

[@shanonlandon]

A beautiful tribute by 3 great mates to 3 beautiful men, on and off the field. Moe mai ra brothers!❤️

[@npd6225]

8:48 Stefan Terblanche pointing to Andre Joubert outside shoulder telling him where Joeli is going to beat him and Joeli goes that way - and beats him. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

[@stevep3585]

Inga was just one of those guys that took the time to talk with you and always made you feel like you were the most important person in the room. A very special man with an incredible nature. Rest easy my friend, you will be missed but not forgotten. Joeli, vinaka vaka levu

[@vetaiapettitt9749]

In fiji when iga was playing for All blacks we all pretend to be iga playing mark around rugby. And use to go watch my brother Joeli playing for Nadi before he cross over to nz 🥲

[@tainakubukawa5202]

[@greylynn-snakevenom113glc7]

Rest in Love Joeli!!! You and Jonah made watching the NPC on a sunday arvo all worth its while.. ofa atu Big Man!!!

[@CaptCanuck4444]

Legends. RIP.

[@andrewcowman8731]

Sad very sad. love the Islanders I played up here against who battered me & those I meet on 2 trips especially RWC 2011. Loved it & the travel but being at places where Samoa or Tonga played embraced by the biggest people, shared hongi's, meet players who were heros & the love. I am so sad. Something re Islanders health needs investigating as we are losing too many greats.

[@ch0ptLiva]

Loved watching these two legends play!!!!

[@anarua3287]

Fark - these guys were great players - Inga and Joeli... miss them but have the memories.

[@swites]

Sad to hear. Always really enjoyed watching these guys play. Rest in peace.

[@twojaycob2469]

R.i.P legends♥️♥️

[@fijianz1]

Still feel for v these legends.. what a phenomena they were just like Jonah. The power and peace that is extremely rare..❤

[@carolleota8922]

SO GLAD THEY ARE IN GOD'S ARMS.❤❤❤

[@brettwilkinson9529]

My memory of Inga was when the All Blacks played South Africa in 1992 at Ellis Park .The ball was spun wide to Danie Gerber and the whole stadium ( all 65,000 people) stood up to watch this legend run in open space , then Inga hit him with a stand up tackle head on and both players came to a sudden halt still standing on their feet .Took a legend to stop a legend.

[@MeanAzz_13]

Holy shit lol is that the same game BIG J.K played n scored in? Wish could re-watch this game

[@williamfox3532]

[@bobfrost2843]

Take your tin foil off weirdo

[@jasonhutt9117]

Yes all of a sudden many are passing pretty hard in this country when we are not allowed even to discuss the J A B s

[@norman-gregory]

@@jakeypetero2013...let me guess. You believe the earth is spinning around the Sun? Tin foil hat...ye keep putting labels on truthers.

[@norman-gregory]

@@jakeypetero2013...This came up on my recommendations. How did these two pass away? How old were they?

[@nanchu2151]

Absolutely correct..VAXXS 💯KILL!

[@keleniengaluafe2600]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mikespencer4922]

What the hell is a Brike Down?

[@FrightF]

Ingas love of carbs and western foods for joy was ultimately his demise as what happens with many people around the pacific. It is proof you cant out exercise a poor diet.
