His condition continued to stabilise overnight, but he remains sedated.
Medical staff are focussing on further stabilising his condition so an air ambulance can fly him to New Zealand.

Strawbridge's wife, Laura, who has flown to Samoa to be with him, said she felt overwhelmed by the support and kindness shown by rugby supporters.
She said she was especially grateful to the All Blacks supporter who donated the right blood type for her husband.
