“With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Joeli Vidiri, aged 48,” the Blues said on Twitter.
“G.O.A.T is used frequently these days, more than it should. In the case of Joeli the title truly fits. One of the greatest players of all time.”

Vidiri made seven appearances for Fiji before moving to New Zealand and playing 62 games for the Blues and two Tests in 1998 for the All Blacks.

An incredibly sad day continues
Another one of our brothers taken. You’d struggle to meet a nicer guy than Joeli Vidiri, not to mention his remarkable skills on the field.
Rest in Love, All Black #973 pic.twitter.com/rdud3jnEg5
