Blues player Francis Saili took some time off from rugby to celebrate Mother's Day yesterday at Auckland's highest restaurant.
Francis and his brother Peter were among several Blues rugby players - including Anthony Boric, Tom McCartney and Ofa Tu'ungafasi - who celebrated Mother's Day with their mums at SkyCity's Orbit Restaurant.
It was all smiles yesterday for the brothers as they tucked into an array of gourmet pastries and savouries - such as whisky trifle, sage tuille and oxtail fritters - with mum, Ana, to celebrate the special day.
The Blues' mums were each also presented with a bottle of bubbly, an East Day Spa voucher and meal vouchers as a gift from SkyCity.
"A lot of fans recognised the players and were quite excited to see them," said SkyCity spokeswoman Kelly Armitage.
