It was held at the south-Auckland Methodist church his family often attended when he was a child.           

Many of the congregation wore a traditional Tongan woven skirt to show respect to the All Blacks legend.           

The 40-year-old died on Wednesday from cardiac arrest around 20-years after being diagnosed with a rare kidney disease.
