The former All Black and rugby league player Va'iaga Tuigimala has died, aged 52.

Popularly known as Inga the Winger, Tuigimala was a fan favourite with his barrel chest and ability to bump off opponents in the late 80s and early 90s.

After playing 19 tests for the All Blacks, he switched to playing rugby league in the UK and France.
