This is a lesson for all players. If you are feeling sick, don't go training. Coaches and Trainers also need to be aware and very observant of each and every player. Such a sad loss. Condolences to the family
How useful is an investigation going to be when the family chose not to have an autopsy after the death? A very crucial part that would've answered all questions was buried due to family wishes.
Do you know Pfizer was forced to release papers showing they were killing people? Especially young sportsmen are having abnormally high heart problems.
u callin them stupid or selfish?
@@Robzabest25 It was a tragedy. But the time to have all questions fully answered was probably an autopsy first than burial. Don't really know if Fiji has the capabilities of a CSI Las Vegas to exhume and do an autopsy years later but I'm pretty sure decomp has turned all them organs and bloodwork to soup for the worms by now.
This is about the wish of a family. The autopsy would have found the medical cause of the death, but not the mismanagement of the coaches of the situation. Therefore, this kind of investigation is definitely also worth to have, without the autopsy, because if someone is feeling sick, that is one part, but if then the trainers don’t help, but make it lethal, then that is the actual problem.
Unfortunately it happens even here in South Africa we have lost numerous player's but as unfortunate as it is, it happens. We even lost cricketers to intense training
Bleh.
Cricket???? Seriously
@@tekajikuyalkrul5111 yip i have 2 friends who have passed away at cricket practice, after intense cardio
Only since the jabs though, right?
Lying on your country for clout is a damn shame 🥲
Rugby literally holds the position has one of top 10s most dangerous sports on the planet, it's not something to be taken lightly. Sorry for the poor lad
Totally agree
Vaccination results without the doctor telling
there u go
Respect 🫡
I remember a couple of guys back in high schoolwho had cardiac arrests back in 2013-14. For both those cases people suspected roid usage affected their health
How can they want a reason for his death but not want the autopsy. What’s an investigation going to solve. They want confirmation of his diagnosis at the hospital but don’t allow tests
It’s a lot of things that needs to be changed from the coaches, players, management, and medical personnel and even the hospitals.
Times have changed and players are getting bigger and stronger than years ago. Things that was once good to do in the 90s are not good for players today. Players needs to be more transparent with the medical staff about their health. They need to get away from the stigma that you just a big baby if you complain about a little pain. To be a great player on the pitch you must look after yourself off the pitch and that includes mental health as well.
Coach also need to stop with the if you don’t run one more lap than you won’t be pick mentality. It should be if you working and giving it a 100% but at your pace and best that should matter. Coz let’s be honest a props 100% work rate will never be the same as a backline and vice-versa.
This will take time/ money and people who can make a difference. I believe when that day comes Fiji rugby will be a formidable force in the world
Are you aware of the Pfizer papers which the courts forced them to release? They state hundreds and hundreds of serious side affects which are killing people. Especially young sports people through heart problems? Yet the gutless media never ever mention it. It makes me so angry 😡.
Coaches need to respect players too...if they say they don't feel well,get them checked right away...simple
RIP
What are you talking about, all teams do this. This title is nonsense.
Exactly, totally harmless and it's just a normal training schedule.
To be honest, no sport is safe to play, but in my opinion rugby is way too extreme. Damn
You're gonna have to specify what you mean w safe
No pain no glory. How far can you go?
There’s pain and glory without death tf
probably he has already a on going complications in his body he just didnt know yet, because in football(soccer) there were alot of deaths regarding cardiovascular because they didnt know it yet since they think they are fit since they train everyday, they eat clean, also rest welll then out of nowhere they just collapsed
Don't mention the covid vax
All I see is another campaign trying to normalize young athletes suddenly dying… before 2021 this wasn’t that common. Can’t go a week without seeing the same headline now.
MrNA vaccine?
That's what I'm saying. Collapse during a non contact practice? 🤔
You’d have to determine firstly whether or not they had it, but also understand what potential and far more likely causes during intense training
Soccer game
Life is a risk, you could get hit by a car on your way to work lol
That’s some final destination shit haha
Vaccinations?
Most likely
Check also if a he had a covid jab.
That's why Fijian wins championship 👏
What championship?😂
@@eels4life-px9ru rugby 7's
Was he covid vaccinated??
It can be vaccines
this 💯
It could be, but it’s very unlikely. It’s like he could have also been on PED’s. Also unlikely, but more likely
keep telling yourself that
This why People chose to play football instead of Rugby. Rugby is too extreme not worth it.
Effects of the vaccine... In many sports sadly, football, soccer, etc
Also known effects in intense training
@@mt3776 here you are again in denial. Sorry for you were dumb enough to fall for the lies. Good luck!
Vaccinated
