Life after Rugby

Broke Rupeni Caucaunibuca wants others to learn from his mistakes in life

The former Blues winger was one of the stars of the 2003 Rugby World Cup and signed mega deals to play in France which should have set him up for life.

However, Caucaunibua has said in a short documentary called Oceans Apart for the Pacific Rugby Players' Welfare organisation that the money's all gone, spent on alcohol and handouts.

After firstly playing provincial rugby for Northland, Caucaunibuca went on to score some of the greatest tries ever seen in Super Rugby for the Blues.
