The Hurricanes paid a special tribute to training partner Mark Telea's brother, who tragically passed away on Monday following an assault over the Easter weekend.
Wearing black armbands during their 47-19 win over the Chiefs at Westpac Stadium last night, the Hurricanes honoured Telea's older brother Jerico.
"It's something that shook our environment earlier in the week," All Blacks halfback and Hurricanes captain TJ Perenara said following the match.
"We're just here for him and the family, our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family and if there's anything they need they know they can come to us."
