Contents

Senior career

Renata first made the Auckland provincial squad in 2015 and it was largely a year of learning for him as he made only 2 substitute appearances. The following year he saw much more action, making 9 appearances, 6 of which were from the start in the number 3 jersey. [2]

International

Whilst playing club rugby for the Varsity Vipers in Auckland, Renata was a late addition to the Māori All Blacks squad in 2015, making his debut off the bench against the New Zealand Barbarians side on the 18th of July. He was then selected by Head Coach Colin Cooper for the 2016 end of year tour, on which he played in all three matches. [3] [4]

Personal life

In early 2024, Renata had the middle finger of his right hand electively amputated at the knuckle due to persistent medical problems after the finger had been dislocated. [5]
