Farewell to a legend. Condolences to the Kiwis. It was my great privilege to see him in action at Kings Park in the Super 12 against Natal.

We are losing some beautiful people far too young.

This is really sad and much to young.

I was thinking Inga went far too young then Vidiri goes even younger.

Vidiri burning Andre Joubert at Eden Park. Super 12 semi-final I think.

Bloody hell, how awful.

Yes I also remember him as part of that incredible Blues team from the 1990s.

RIP brother.

Very sad.

Can you imagine lining up to start a match and the opposition wingers are Vidiri and Lomu?!

Yes it was Semi-Final 1997. Auckland crushed the Sharks 55-27. What a scary outfit the Blues were!

No age. He had a similar kidney condition to Lomu, didn't he?

Wow!

So sad.

RIP Joeli Vidiri
