The tributes continue for Norm Hewitt. 

The Former All Black, Māori All Black, and Hurricane was fighting with Motor Neurone Disease before passing at the age of 55.  

For most of his international career, Hewitt was head-to-head with Sean Fitzpatrick for the No. 2 jersey. 

Fitzpatrick told Mike Hosking he has a massive respect for Hewitt, and the reason he got the best out of him is because Hewitt was hugely competitive.  

He said he has a huge admiration for what he did, saying that he had some difficult times and to be able to turn that around and give back was huge.
