Va’aiga Tuigamala Cause Of Death
As a high-tech nation, we see reliance on technology by an increasing number of people to do our work for us. However, despite the countless benefits that technology has given us, it has also created new problems. One of which we are all struggling to deal with is how to co-exist with technology without getting hurt by it. They say death comes in many shapes and sizes. For the New Zealand rugby legend Va’aiga Tuigamala, it was a heart attack that claimed his life. The inspirational former All Blacks’ backup hunk from the world’s oldest professional rugby international side, the Melbourne Rebels of Super Rugby, died at the age of 52 after being involved in a serious car accident in Samoa.

In rugby, the term “veteran” is used to refer to the more decorated players. It is hard to describe a player who has been at the sport for ages, but who doesn’t make it to the list of stars. Then there are veteran players like Va’aiga Tuigamala. Aged 52, he played over 100 tests in a career where he was part of the Manu Samoa team that won three World Cup titles. We are very saddened to hear yesterday that former New Zealand Warriors, Samoa, and Sydney Roosters backrower Va’aiga Tuigamala passed away. He, for many years, played for the Warriors but has had a long and successful career in the NRL. He was also a member of both the Kiwis and Samoan Olympic Teams. He was also very close to both Samoa and the Samoan community in New Zealand as he played for both Pacific teams at the 1995 World Cup.

On behalf of us here at The Spinoff, we will send our thoughts, wishes, and prayers to his family, friends, and the Samoan community here in New Zealand. A revered All Black and New Zealand legend, the career of former rugby star Va’aiga Tuigamala has come to an abrupt end with the news of his death at the age of 52. An actor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, the former rugby star is survived by his wife and two sons. A rugby star himself, Tuigamala left his mark in the game of rugby as a flanker or number eight. He played for New Zealand at the 1987 Rugby World Cup and represented the country a record 118 times. His brother Greg is a former Racing Metro coach.
