All Blacks legend Tana Umaga has shown he's still a force in the sporting world, long past his retirement from rugby, after starring at the 2022 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Masters.
Umaga, capped 74 times - 22 as captain - for the All Blacks between 1997 and 2005, is a
brown belt in the self-defence martial art after practicing the sport for ten years.
Earlier this month, Umaga took out a silver medal in his weight and age division at the World Masters, eventually going down to American Scott Giller in the final after earlier fighting undefeated.
"Made some great memories and ticked some things off the bucket list," the 49-year-old Umaga posted on his Instagram account following the tournament in Las Vegas.
"Been a blast and a lot of laughs that got me through the tears."
