world cup is the biggest tournament and is infrequent but yeah. Also Fiji are a great rugby team so if he missed that game, I honestly still think Fiji will win and that he can then join up again with the squad for the Quarter Finals if he wants.

Still think though how a person mourns a death should be up to them, may be a coping mechanism or his son had said to continue if he dies during the tournament (it wasn’t a sudden death, it was a long term illness and the death was unfortunately coming)
