The All black people and New Zealand Rugby are mourning the loss of their long-serving head of security Logan Cadwallader following a medical incident at theirs Edinburgh hotel.
Cadwallader has been part of the All Blacks family for more than ten years and has traveled with the side frequently during his tenure as head of security.
All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie said the team would pay tribute to Cadwallader and “the legacy he left to the All Blacks”.
“Logan has been a big part of the All Blacks family for a long time. He was a consummate team man, loved and trusted by everyone, and a true professional,” Rennie said.
“He looked after all of us, players and staff, and was a good friend to many in this team. We are all devastated. Our thoughts are with his wife, Nannette, his children, Trey, Brooke and Mia, and his extended family and friends. As a team, we will honor Logan and the legacy he left on the All Blacks.”
New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Lancaster expressed the organisation’s deepest sympathies to Cadwallader’s family during this time.
“Logan has been a valued and trusted member of management over the past decade, and will be sorely missed by all who worked alongside him. On behalf of New Zealand Rugby, I extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this very difficult time.”
The NZR also recognized Cadwallader’s wide-ranging contribution to New Zealand.
“New Zealand Rugby also recognizes Logan’s service to country, at the highest level of the New Zealand Defense Force. Logan served in the New Zealand Army and the New Zealand Special Air Service (NZSAS) regiment, deploying to some of the world’s most demanding environments, including Bosnia and East Timor, his country and his country. The values he carried with him were reflected in everything he did for the team.”
