Former All Blacks hooker and Dancing with the Stars winner Norm Hewitt has passed away. He was 55.
It is understood he died last night after a battle with motor neurone disease.
Growing up in Porangahau, southern Hawke’s Bay, Hewitt played 296 representative matches during a memorable first-class rugby career spanning 13 seasons for Hawke’s Bay, Southland and Wellington. He earned 23 caps for the All Blacks over nine seasons and was a key member of the Hurricanes in the early years of Super Rugby, missing just one match in the first five years.
