Marcel T. Renata (born 24 February 1994) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a prop for Template:Rut Auckland in New Zealand's domestic Mitre 10 Cup.[1]
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.
