A former international rugby player’s bid to remain in New Zealand after being caught drink-driving has hit another hurdle, but not the end of the road. Samoan…

What a load of shit. He should be deported, not fighting to stay.
like someone who's never made a mistake. Show some compassion.
tbh if he's a convicted felon why should we keep him? Laws are laws.
yeah nah but he's a rugby hero, surely we can cut him some slack? 🤷
clearly haven't read the law. It's not about being a hero, it's about a process. Stick to the All Blacks.
Actually under the Immigration Act 2009, an offender can have their visa cancelled if they're sentenced to 3+ months within 2 years of arrival. A drink-driving conviction is 3 months or more? Might be borderline. The court will decide, not Facebook warriors.

Oh come on. It's just drink-driving, not murder. He's made mistakes but he's got family here. Let him stay.
hell, it was a one-off. Get off your high horse.
As someone who works in hospitality, I've seen enough drunk idiots ruin lives. One DUI is one too many. Bye bye Sakaria.
luck. He shouldn't have been behind the wheel pissed. Final.
He's got a conviction for drink-driving. It's not like he assaulted someone. This reeks of bureaucratic nonsense.
Rules exist for a reason mate. He knew the law. Get lost.
A one-off? You don't know that. He could have killed someone.
Another rich sports star using lawyers to dodge consequences. Classic.
Exacly. But nah, let's let the rugby bloke off. Smh.
lol @ ppl defending a drunk driver just cos he played rugby. ffs.
