Israel Adesanya and Dan Hooker are furious after one of the men responsible for the death of their teammate, Fau Vake, was signed to a national rugby team.
In 2021, Vake and his brother, Ika Vake, were outnumbered by four men outside of the Edinburgh Castle bar in Auckland, New Zealand in May 2021. One of the men involved in the incident, Daniel Havili, was caught on CCTV blindsiding Fau Vake with a punch that caused him to collapse and hit his head on the pavement. Vake died a few days later at an Auckland City Hospital.
