Bro he was more than “kinda” fast.. he ran a 10.6 100m and was 120kg! First global superstar from Rugby. Transcended the sport
GOAT
Holy bruh i could only do 11.84 in my 100m
@jase gtree thanks man
@@megazap1605 no. Biggest not greatest.
He was 112 kg when he played 7s. He was 118 kg when he played for counties and all blacks for the first sean then he gradual gradually went up to 134 kg thats almost 300 lbs
Biggest fastest player ever. Even today he would ruin a team, stats dont lie. Six five tall and 270 pounds in most of these clips a 4.4 40 being conservative. He's a unicorn.
Naw back then it was way tougher cause it was dirtier not as strict as rugby is today. RIP to the GOAT ❤️
People tended to be much smaller tho because weights weren’t as popular, so less heavy collisions and concussions etc
Facts! Around the ruck and maul, players would get sprigged, stomped, and ran on
A lot of his career he was actually holding back because of an illness the eventually killed him but just imagine if he never had an illness how much more of a beast he would have been
He lost the second part of his career, the RWC 2003 and 2007.
Anybody who's playing professional rugby owes it to the Goat you were on point with the legendary raider comparison I appreciated that
Brah, this montage does not do him justice..
Jonah Lomu is the first Superstar of Rugby! Became the youngest AB at 19years old.
1.96m tall / 6ft 4
119kgs / 260lbs
100m in 10.80s / 109yrds
The Greatest no. 11
Jonah was the reason why rugby went professional, before him Rugby was still played by players who had 9-5 jobs, in NZ at least, we a country of 4million. He was offered a 10m NFL contract think back in the 2000s. He turned it down cos he liked rugby, but in a documentary, you realize, cos he was aware of his Health Issues at the time and wanted to just focus on rugby as long as he can to play for that Black Jersey. He retired in the 2000s too.. just goes to show that if he looked like he was at his peak.. maate
my top 5 players
1. Jonah Lomu (NZ)
2. Carlos Spencer (NZ)
3. Christian Cullen (NZ)
4. Brian ODriscoll (IRE)
5. Jean de Villiers (RSA)
But please react to another video of Jonah ! th-cam.com/video/OsXTa7UCGlk/w-d-xo.html
Solid content Uso !
Uce not Denver Broncos..lol.. it was the Dallas cowboys..
@@talkaboutit9200 yeah you got it uce..
10.8 not 10.08 for the 100. 10.08 would be Olympic final speed.
@@calumcaldwell1884 but fuck that running at ya lol
@Masi Neale it was tough but ill like diversity in my top lol ... but damn.. tough decision still
One of the best things about growing up in the 90s around a rugby environment was to watch Jonah Lomu play
nobody and i mean nobody compaires to king jonah,im just glad i got to see him in wales and even if it wasnt his prime the lovely guy was still a beast!!!!!!
he was offered a nfl contract but wasn't interested, he loved rugby too much,
American football run?
Nahr Fam
It's called a sprinters sprint
My man was a sprinter
That 6'4 120kg beast could run 100m in 10.8 seconds
It ain't no american football run
It's a sprinters sprint
The baddest to ever do it!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Kiwi 🇳🇿 born Tongan 💪🏾🤙🏾🇹🇴 R.I.P. to the legend.
Before Jonah Lomu there were not many Pacific Islanders in international rugby. After he made his stance with the All Blacks he paved the way, opened a portal, for islanders to flood the scene in international rugby. Jonah is the OG of all the number 11s in All Black history with due respect to those blind side wingers before him. Mad kudos to your reaction and Kia Ora from NZ toko
us welsh still give you a run for your money though fella,we like you when your born your thrown a rugby ball to see if you catch it ;) lol
Big statement about paving the way for islanders. The likes of Michael Jones, Steven Bashop and Vaainga Tuigamala not too mention Bernie Fraser etc would suggest differently.
Certainly woke international teams up to bringing Pacific island players on board.
The Tongan Beast!!!🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴The Michael Jordan of Rugby!!💯🙌🏆
He was a beast, but he was no Michael Jordan with all due respect.
@@joshhowe3477 you dumb asf then smh
Sorry, I don't speak English, the following is a machine translation :
On the differences between rugby in Lomu's day and today, you'll find almost as many different opinions as there are rugby fans. Some facts : on average, the players are taller, heavier, more powerful, in better physical condition than they were then. But there hasn't been another Lomu yet ...
Jonah was just himself! he made it look effortlessly poor the opponent's where made to look silly at times.
R.i.P LEGEND LOMU ✊🏾
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
he's MUHAMMAD ALI at rugby broooo! he's A LEGEND
Simply the Best, LOMU was GOD'S GIFT TO INSPIRE OTHERS. RIP LOMU
Literally the greatest rugby player ever. 265 pounds and faster than any wide receiver. Just imagine a line backer that was faster than any WR
The NFL concept of offence and defence does not apply to rugby, the side who has the ball is on the offensive, the other than could be described as being on the defensive, but unlike NFL, in rugby, barring substitution through injury, all the players on both sides play for the whole game, two halves of 40 minutes, oh and by the way, NFL football is a derivative of Rugby Football which can trace its roots back to medieval England, although modern rugby rules date back to1823,, whereas the NFL dates back to 1920
The Pacific Islanders have changed the rugby game - running rugby in the Southern Hemisphere. - They are strong, fast and agile. But Northern hemisphere rugby is more technical - they slow the game down and kick goals rather than scoring with exciting attacking tries.
Great reaction brother. Jonah was the first true superstar of the modern rugby game. I had the great fortune of playing against him in school boy rugby back in the day, and our whole team was in awe of him, I tried to tackle him once, but it was like trying to tackle a tree trunk....got sat on my ass. Thank you for paying tribute to the lord of the wings.....R.I.P Jonah
An apt moniker : Lord Of The Wings.
To answer your question, Jonah started when rugby in 1994 was still Ameteur, hence the players were smaller, and so was Jonah Comparatively. Some, but not all, of this footage was pre profrossionalism. After 1995 Rugby went professional and it took around 2-3 years for most international teams to adjust. It made no difference, the size of players late 90's early 2000's when Jonah was still playing are no different compared with today, everytime Jonah got the ball something special happened and he was trucking both forwards and backs during that era. A good example to back this point, the wallaby backline in that era had some legendary players of their own, all 100kg+(220+ pounds, note these are backs, not forwards who are bigger) which is a big backline even by today's standards, and Jonah trucked them all regardless of size. A 125kg+ gym junked powerful prop? Jonah still trucked them all the time and made it look easy. He was a freak of nature, although polynesians in general have an insane genepool and produce very fast, powerful athletes all the time. The Tuilagi brothers, Julian Savea, Lote Tiqiri, Rupeni Caucau, Josua Tuisova, Maika Sivo, Matu Vatuvei and many others, the list is very extensive. Jonah though still was head and shoulders above the rest, a once in a life time Athlete.
Jonah was one of the greatest rugby union player's to ever play the sport.
He's natural abilities just wasn't fair.
Notice how many player's in this video and most of them being international /player's representing their country didn't even want to try'n tackle him.
Nah that's not a football run those guy run tracks bro and some facts that you need to know is American football created from rugby
LOMU. Power, speed, balance and determination.
And for his whole career he was never at 100% because of kidney problems
He changed the game when he played no doubt long live the OG BEAST RIL Jonah Lomu 11
Don’t ever compare the GOAT to anyone period.
You keep saying that's a football run.. Rugby and rugby runs were around long before the creation of American football.. Football runs are like rugby runs...
I had the privilege to watch Jonah play live on 3 occasions. He had an amazing electric power that lit up the stadiums. I've followed rugby for over 55yrs and have never seen another like him. An awesome man the world lost too soon. Rip Mr Lomu. A star that still shines.
Great video mate. Jonah wasn't a truck by the way. He was an unstoppable freight train. RIP.
I'm a south African and we know jonah lomu was prob the greatest of all time. This is a dude near 300lb and moves like that. There has never been anyone like that again. It's sad his career was so short due to health issues. I guess the stars that burn brightest burn out the quickest
RIP LEGEND .
True, he Lost the second part of his career, the RWC 2003 and 2007 and may be the option to play in NFL.
Yeah Jonah is the Greatest of All time because thus far he has No Equal. Bo Jackson is a good comparison but l prefer a Mack Truck is more like it,L0L... Legend.
In other words, Lomu was a horse in human form.
It's because of him rugby became professional.. he changed the game.. The WINGER position he played were only played by small fast guys... Then Jonah comes along starts running people over.. he dominanted for years.. then other rugby franchises caught on an started recruiting big boys for the Winger position.. now you see it in the modern game.. big boys on the wing running people over.. Jonah run the 100m at 10.8sec at 120kgs.. that video don't do him justice..there are better videos of him running over the whole team.. lol.. true story.. he became an ALL BLACK at 19 at that time the youngest to ever do it and at a time where racism against Polynesian playing for the Allblacks was political.. He like the Michael Jordan of Rugby.. the Goat..
Rugby went professional because rugby league had become a much better spectacle, it's as simple as that. Lomu may have ended up in league for the money if union didnt go pro, they all did back then , Inga Tuigamala did that just the year before Lomu turned up, Union players were playing and having day jobs, , league guys were full time pro's getting payed huge amounts of cash and their physicality and skill increased as a result. The big TV money was there to be taken but only if Union went pro, the Murdochs were not gonna throw money at part timers, so the Union bosses decided to move with the times. Lomu may have been the bait to hook the tv money i'll say. As for small fast guys, dont give into the myth, John Kirwan was 110kg 6'4" winger in the 1987 world cup, Inga the winga was heavier than Jonah in the early 90's playing same position, plenty of wingers over 220 pounds back then playing League back then as well.
@@docgonzales and Jonah did that..Inga was good but not ruthless like Jonah.. Jonah put Rugby on the Map.. the players that switched codes to league were mud anyways.. No one has done what Jonah has done on the world stage.. yeah there were others after him.. but they never lasted.. Jonah was killing it.. then he got sick.. and the rest you know..
TalkAboutIt Lomu is still the biggest fastest guy ever, no doubt , even today he would flatten everyone. As for the league influence, in mid '95 rugby league in australia had become so big a money earner that two billionaires fought for the tv rights, with Murdoch starting his own comp when he didnt get the ok by the ARL board, as a result pay packets went thru the roof in a bidding war for players, and suddenly union players were getting flooded with a million a year offers when they might have taken home 50k thru under table payments. By the world cup in 95 guys like Joost V. W were serious about switching, Jonah as well. Union officials knew they were gonna see an exodus of players to League after the WRC of 95 so they had to become pro or see the game gutted. As for the union guys snapped up pre 96 to play league they definitely werent mud, Jonathon Davis was amazing, too many aussies to mention, the British Lions of 97 was chock full of ex league players that came back after their fat contracts had run out, Scott Gibbs, Quinell, Alan Bateman, John Bentley, Allan Tait, those guys brought a professionalism to the squad that only helped.
@@talkaboutit9200 Rugby had already started to become professional building up to 95 world cup. Jonah gave good reason why with his WC performance but he wasn't the sole reason it switched.
Also Jonahs sickness didn't happen after. You people only found out after as due to his celebrity status as after 95, it would've been hard to keep from the public eye.
As for Inga, well he was a beast in his own right. Had been Jonahs size, he would have been no different. Very rare you'll find the switch from union to league in the prime of that players career which is why you could call them mud. Not all though.
This guy the best most hubble man you'd meet off the rugby field love the man x
He is like a slightly shorter, bigger and faster version of Lebron James. He is the original freight train
Always keen to see some Americans checking out rugby! Just some stats to keep in mind: Lomu was 6'5, weighed 265 lbs, and ran 90% as fast as an olympic sprinter. How do you stop that?
Being from South Africa i have always been a Springboks / South Africa fan... But i was a Jonah fan growing up... Even had the haircut loved the big man #RIP
Almost every kids idol rip Jonah
Sean Good question. Would Jonah be as special as he was, if he played today? You'd better believe it! Defensive structures have improved 10 fold, Broken play? Lomu is king!
Bo Jackson what was he 6’2 230? Maybe a touch lighter than that. Jonah Lomu 6’5 260 😂😂😂 a freak honestly a once in a lifetime freak. If he were in his prime today he’d be in the NFL 100% Jonah like Jerome Bettis but fast 😂😂
This man was the GOAT got this little bush kid from australia loving rugby but...Check out Steve (the beaver) Menzies . rugby league Manly sea eagles.. not the best but clinicale
Played #1 in 7's rugby, #11 in Rugby Union.
Besides all his obvious talents of speed, size and power.
He had a 3m side step, youngest All Black at the time, and even with his illness he was the first ever universal rugby player who bought the game to new levels. And to most NewZealanders, aswel as myself, the Greatest "Back" of all time!!!!.
Team consists of - 8 Forwards Positions.
- 7 Back Positions.
can you react to siredmund hillary middle school haka compation 2021
Lomu made Rugby turn to professional sport. Before lomu there was no payments for playing. So every one played rugby for the love of it. Now professionals get paid! RIP Jonah Lomu!
Yeah Jonah Antagonized every team he played against, 90% of the Opposition that he ran through outside of the ABs were Elite level lnternationals and teammates at the higher Levels. RIP Big Man, Thanks for the Memories.
As a bloke from across the ditch..when Jonah and the all blacks played as Aussies we feared him..but without him the game wouldn't be the game today without a doubt the best winger of all time..And there has and he played against the greats of the game..RIP GOAT we across the ditch think and miss you and rugby will never be the same
Gridiron is nothing like rugby, we play 40 minutes of two halves non stop with no pads or helmets. There has never been an American come here and play rugby or rugby league and make it.
He was his humble self. All the stats aside. Nobody ever saw Jonah play at 100% even at school with us he would've still been sick and hid it. But Jonah's 60 to 70% elevated the game to unseen heights and was far better than everyone elses 100% of his time. He has inspired and will continue to inspire generations to come in many sports not just rugby. In a time when the game was full of so many legends he was the worlds stand out player. Teams tried to develop game plans to try and shut him down. His time from standing start over 10m was 0.8 seconds.
Jonah cant be compared to anyone, he was the first. A lot of players are compared to him though. RIL my Big Bro
Look rules were more relaxed towards the defending side, so more dangerous tackles were allowed. But how would try a high tackle on him? He was huge. He would shrug you off like you weren't there. Today a lot of guys are bigger than the average payer from then. But the size speed combo, still makes a good player. For sure in my top 5. Maybe nr 2. Only because the rules of today inhibits players. So some need to concentrate more on tactics than just brute force and speed.
Rugby has always been a tough game. Jonah made other players look like school boys. I don’t know whether he was a freak or other players have got bigger today. He was big, fast and agile. Some of those clips he was playing against the best international teams and players at the team. No one could tackle him.?you had to push him out
With out a dout the best rugby player to ever play the game. We have two sports down here we have rugby union and rugby league. League was professional and union was amature i think johna was the first professional union player. This man was so great that he dominated all that played him and he did it while he was very sick with kidney failure. Just think how good he could have been if he was well. THE ALL BLACKS are the most dominant team in sports history and johna is the most dominant ALL BLACK . They say Mohammed ali is the greatest sports person in history he did not have any medical problems when he boxed. We have a single sport vers a team sport so its hard to say but we have the best player in the most dominate team in history.
When he burst on to the seen rugby was still an amature sport. Cause of the nfl and nrl chasing his signature, in 1996 rugby went full pro. He was first indorsed by reebok then eventually signed to adidas this is how adidas now sponsor the all blacks.
BO JACKSON GOT NOTHING ON THIS GUY RAW RUGBY POWER NO HELMET NO PADS NOTHING ???
Jonah would have to be number 1 in my opinion, he was originally from Tonga, like Jason Taumololo.
Dude back den u could survive with a high tackle without a card,but nobody could even stop the great one with shit like dat.....the ultimate beast jl
He would eat and beat player off today's brother. He was cut down before his prime. Bless brother all black for every
With your question about was Rugby harder then or now, that'll be sort of hard to answer, but let's put it this way, he'd still be killing it now like he did back then
He was playing when it was transitioning from amateur to professional still very raw
a practitionner of the Maori side-step ..go right , go left ...naaah straight in the middle
5:14. Bro it was tougher then , less rules around safety you could pretty much do wrestling moves on people, I played in the same place at the same time and the same position as Jonah lomu, it was the most physical rugby there was because it was south Auckland
you have a lot of Pacific islanders in NFL they like to run straight for the goal line. They is their natural flair.
Would still destroy teams today easily. He would be number 1.
give shane williams a go- same position but different skill set
Best rugby player of all time please react to David Tua my bro
you could not say back then that it was easier or harder as back then yes the rules were less strict but now the game is more built up in a way that the training is different so the contact is higher, as stronger men on the playing field, this man beast tho RIP big love
no pads no protection 40min each half x2 i dont think nfl will handle it.
Jonah was the first genuine rugby superstar. 95 world cup made his star. And he did all he did during a period in his life when he was really sick
Jonah is/was the GOAT. put him up against anyone in the history of the sport and he beats them 99/100
True. The 1 out of 100 was james small lol
Lumoa the best top millions of player's
Definitely top 5 of all time no comparison
ayeee you did it!!!! so good thank you
haha I went back into old comments from my first rugby reaction and found it! thanks for the support forreal! 💯
@@RareSoulTV all day everyday man, Jonah Lomu is my all-time favourite player. My favourite video is called Legends Never Die by Andrew Forde, maybe consider reacting to that.
no football run like him there's no one who comes close to jonah
The beast among men...all Blacks 4 ever
Jonah Lomu T O N G A N 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴
Jonah lomu is the god of rugby bloke no one comes close to him past or present
He got offered to play in the NFL but he turned it down
Football copy that kind of run from him
He was only playing 60% of his game
As an english person it seems wrong, but fav highlight of his is when absolutely flattens our defensive line likes was a kindergarten paper chain absolutely amazing player a true lover of the sport who thanks to his condition was actually estimated to only ever be at 70% of his true potential.
does anyone know the music in the video i like it
He's the MJ of rugby ❤️
he was top 1 ever in rugby union .
Request for you to do one for Tui sova
Rugby v League similar but different
He instilled fear on defenders
No one wanted to face the brick wall
Jonah was the youngest All Black
His vertical leap is one of the highest recorded ever
One day at Counties Stadium he hit a guy so hard we feared for his life
After that tackle he changed his technique to a drag the man down style so as not to endanger another life
A fact not well known, after matches in New Zealand you could run onto the playing field and approach players as they walked off
He was so popular that sometimes he was still trying to get off the field up to an hour after the game had finished
They had to change the rule so nobody could come onto the field, it become that dangerous
All his achievements with severe medical issues
I remember where i was when i heard the news of his death
Grown men wept as i did, as i am writing this
Simply THE BEST
Keve Skelly
much respect fam 🙏🏾
Funny u mentioned Bo Jaccson cuz they both superhuman... not normal..lol Although Jonah didn't play other sports as a pro player like Bo Jaccson but he did come bacc to the rugby field after his kidney TRANSPLANT 😳 Rugby bacc den was way more hard-core then now...
Formed a wonderful partnership with Christian Cullen and Jeff Wilson in the 90's for the All Blacks. Also look at an "Old School All Black" from the 50's to 70's named Colin Meads.
Great comparison...Bo Jackson was a freak athlete...so was the late King of Rugby, Jonah Lomu.
Greatest ever
All of the rugby legends were playing during his time, the 90's and early 2000s. He played in the best competition in rugby of all time and dominated. By fat the best winger to play the game of rugby. RIP
RIP Jonah
Bro the game has gone soft back in his day beastmode 100%. Some people says players in our days are more conditioned and they are right but jonah still would have done the same thing put it this way 120kgs 100metrer 10.6sec I believe and took advantage of everything part of his talent do for me then and now this guys is on the mountain by himself.
To put this into context - all the guys you’ve reviewed- revered Lomu and wouldn’t stand a chance against him. Ingles idolised him. He was bigger and faster than any of them. Faster than any WR and bigger than any TE
Much about the game has changed since back then.
Defenses had more of a chance to turn over the ball and so they committed more people to breakdowns. So did the offense. Now that so few people participate in rucks the running lanes are clogged up to the point that World Rugby is looking to change the Laws in a way to get people out of the defensive line.
Back then the primary objective was to stay on your feet. Not so today. Now ball carriers fight to go to ground because they are better off being tackled than on their feet.
Not only that but the very definition of "on your feet" has been changed to allow people to do things that they weren't allowed to do back then.
Since professionalism all of the 'dark arts' of forwards have disappeared from the game to the point that they cannot even do things as basic as a scrum on the first attempt.
