Remembering Sean Wainui

It is with great sadness we learned of the passing of New Zealand rugby player Sean Wainui last week. Our First Year Rugby teams were privileged to meet him in Thomond Park in 2016 with his Maori All Black team mates.

On that occasion our students introduced him to hurling and he pucked a few sliotars over the bar at the home of Munster Rugby.

Deepest sympathy to his family, friends and team mates.
