Blues prop Marcel Renata has had to amputate his middle finger to continue playing professional rugby. In an interview with Stuff.co.nz, Renata recalled the remarkable story of how he sacrificed the damaged finger on his right hand to keep pursuing his Super Rugby career. “It was in bits really, from footy,” the 29-year-old told Stuff ahead of the Super Rugby season. “I stopped enjoying the game and I stopped enjoying training because I was so sore. I think that finger catches quite a bit of liquid, so I have to do the old double pump.”Photo: Albert Perez/Getty Images
