Social media lit up with stories of the bucket collection for LGBTI groups. In particular the actions of injured Hurricane player TJ Perenara seen with helping with the bucket collection outside Westpac Stadium.
The @NZ_Falcons also had a very special guy helping out with last night’s collection – thanks to @Tj_Perenara for standing up for gay and inclusive rugby and LGBT+ youth! #DiversityIsStrength 🏉🌈❤️ pic.twitter.com/Z9KIduMGih

And also great to see the Minister for Sport and Recreation (and a pretty useful number 8), @grantrobertson1, out shaking the buckets with the boys too! pic.twitter.com/y15Suu0e3y

Delighted by the kind support from the @Hurricanesrugby crowd, who happily supported the bucket collection at tonight’s game for @NZ_Falcons, @RainbowYOUTH and @insideoutkoaro. #gameforeveryone #DiversityIsStrength pic.twitter.com/64SdI357Vt

1 News also has a good interview with the All Blacks coach saying “he is proud of his halfback for condemning the comments of Wallabies star Folau, who wrote that homosexuals go to hell”
