Former All Black Norm Hewitt has died, Donald Trump makes his first public appearance following an attempted assassination, and if a new (used) truck breaks down, who pays?
1 Former All Black Norm Hewitt dead at 53
Hewitt had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease, his family said in a statement. He made 23 appearances for the All Blacks, playing nine Tests.
In one of rugby's most enduring images, he went face-to-face with England's Richard Cockerill during the haka at Old Trafford in Manchester in 1997.
He has been fondly remembered for his contributions both on and off the field, with teammates, charities, and NZ Rugby paying tribute.
