Deepest condolences to teammates and his loved ones. A gifted player of the great game and will be missed by all who knew him

So very sad for his entire family but most especially his young children who will miss growing up with such a loving father. I think we are all still in shock right now.

Rest easy king. Too powerful for this world, he’s moved onto the next. Deepest love and condolences to the family and nz rugby community.

Rest easy up there sean Wainui record breaker 5 try’s in one game forever written in history ❤️💔

Only 25, such a great person gone to soon😢

rest easy Sean say hi to big Jonah for us much love arohanui to your whanau from Tonga 🇹🇴

GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN BRO.....YOUR WORK ON EARTH IS DONE!! CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS,TEAM ,COMMUNITY AND NZ RUGBY!!!!! 🇫🇯LOVE FROM THE PARADISE🇫🇯

He's the same age as my cousin that passed recently. Breaks my heart, Sean had so much more to live for and was going places. Life is so cruel at times, wishing nothing but love and strength for his loved ones. So tough, especially on his parents,wife and little boy. Rest easy Sean,you didn't deserve this. Your influence went beyond rugby and NZ, much love ❤️

My condolences to his family, his friends and team mates. as a Kiwi living in South America and heading to Washington DC on Thursday to watch the ABs take on the USA Eagles, i think I am in for something even more special than I thought ...we will be thinking of you this Saturday .RIP Sean

Fly high🕊 Sean one of the best rugby players in the world 🌍

I refuse to believe this 🥺❤

I was enjoying his gameplays in the field and I just can't believe he's goon so early and he was so young and at his prime. To me even tho he's been a rising star in the world of rugby, be will always be a legend. R.I.P sean

RIP Gone far too soon

Keep scoring those tries in heaven bro❤️

Rest in Power all the way from 🇯🇲🇯🇲.

Rest in peace king kia kaha e whānau 😔 🕊 🕊 🙏

You found your mana in chief country got an early upgrade to the heaven. You will be sorely missed Crusader fan 😢

R.I.L Sean, forever will be missed

Had the privilege of watching him live here in Fiji. What a talent🔥🙌🏾 and from seeing all the videos of his mates and whanau on social media, an even better human being. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. Moce mada kemuni ✊🏾

Now you become legend brother what a great loss. Rest In Peace Sean

I’m so glad he got the send off he deserved with five tries in what we didn’t know was his final game for the Chiefs. RIP Sean, what a brilliant player and representative of our culture. Ngā mihi brother.

Condolences to his Wife and kids. Didnt know the bro personally. But when you lose someone across the moana that represented Maori and Rugby on and off the field with Mana. You can't help but feel this emptiness inside you. If you have whanau tell them you love them, if you have kids hold them a little longer and teach them how to treat everyday like its your last. This Brother, Kaiarahi, Father has been taken too soon. Moe mai ra bro.

R.I.P Sean. My condolences to his family and his friends.

Gone too soon RIP BRO

Lost for words RIP king 👑

Sorry for your loss!! Respect and condolences from SA.

Until this year I didn't know he even existed, I sat down one time to watch him play in the Maori all blacks with his mother and father in law, I've enjoyed watching him play this season and all the highlights I've watched on KZfaq. Rest in love Sean 🤍

Legend will always live on. In this video you can see the kind of person he was, the kind of person we need more of in this world. Sincerest condolences to his family, teammates and other close friends. Fly high Sean💔🕊

Rest in power legend 🕊 Why would people dislike this

I don't want to give fake love and say stuff what I think about him withlut even watching the Maori All Blacks But I will say that he looked like a well rounded person with lots of love to give to everybody....It really is a shame to see such a young star leave at such a young age. Condolences and love to his family❤❤
