"Good fun with the boys on stage with the bro @ginuwine !! It was pretty cool thanks for having us on stage dox @ginuwine haha @manuvatuvei@dominique_peyroux," read Hurrell's Instagram post.
Vatuvei later added a comment, posting: "Still buzzing @koni_hurrell was riding the horsey lol @dominique_peyroux."
The players were well within their rights to attend the concert and no trouble or irresponsible behaviour was reported from their night out.
However, the timing of the outing and the social media posts that followed could not have been worse considering the Warriors late-season predicament, and the situation has placed the club under more unwanted attention.
Vatuvei, who is out for the rest of the year with a shoulder injury, remained in Auckland but surprised fans on Sunday afternoon when a tweet revealed he was not watching television coverage of the Warriors game, but at the cinema to watch the film War Room.
"Time to watch #WarRoom at #EventCinemas #OUA," read Vatuvei's tweet before some of his Twitter followers questioned his decision.

Warriors managing director Jim Doyle is in Sydney attending a meeting with all 16 NRL club bosses and was unavailable for comment, but told TVNZ he would discuss the video with the players upon his return home tomorrow.
The Warriors have one match remaining in the season, against the Canterbury Bulldogs in Sydney on Sunday, when they will look to avoid equaling the unwanted record of 2012, when they lost their last eight games.
