Wallabies great Toutai Kefu is fighting for his life after being stabbed in his Brisbane home on Monday morning.
According to Seven News, the current Tongan coach was at home in the early hours of Monday morning when three people broke into his family home in Coorparoo, Brisbane.
The report says a large brawl erupted after the group were confronted by Kefu breaking and knives were brandished, which resulted in former No. 8 being stabbed in the stomach.
Kefu was rushed to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a "serious condition" with several abdominal wounds.
His wife, son and daughter were also taken to hospital after being injured in the attack.
Kefu's wife's injuries are said to be "significant", while his son and daughter suffered lacerations to their hands and back.
Neighbours managed to contain one of the alleged offenders, who was arrested at the scene, with two others said to be on the run.
The 47-year-old was recently in New Zealand, coaching an under-strength Tongan side in a test against the All Blacks, and two World Cup qualifiers against Manu Samoa.
Kefu earned 60 test caps for the Wallabies in a seven-year career, famously scoring a match-winning try against the All Blacks in a 2001 Bledisloe Cup test in Sydney.
Kefu won the Rugby World Cup with Australia in 1999, and has been head coach of Tonga since 2016.
