Meafua died, aged 31, last Saturday (NZ time) after jumping off a bridge following Montauban’s 48-40 win over Narbonne in their final home match in French rugby’s Pro D2, the second tier.
His club team-mates have launched a fundraising page for the late rugby player’s wife, Priscilla Orzel, who is expecting their fourth child in August.
Meafua played in Auckland club rugby for Otahuhu before first heading overseas in 2014 for stints in Australia and France.
