The All Blacks halfback’s niece was in tears seeing her uncle for the first time after the Covid-19 lockdown.

All Blacks star TJ Perenara has posted a heartwarming video of a teary hug as he and his niece saw each other for the first time since the end of the Covid-19 lockdown.

The Instagram video shows the All Black halfback’s niece jump into his arms as he sits on a gym bench.

Perenara asks her how she has been before she starts sobbing.

“It’s been a long time since I could hug you, eh,” he tells his sobbing niece.

“You alright? We had to do it, eh? To make sure we didn’t get sick, it’s been long,” Perenara goes on to explain.

Perenara featured in a Government TV advert during the lockdown telling New Zealanders we needed to come together to beat Covid-19.
