      I am a kiwi living in the U.K. and use a radio as our alarm. First thing I heard as I woke up that morning was Jonah Lomu had passed away. Instant tears. And I very rarely cry. He gave us so much joy and excitement. Every now and then I watch these old videos again and tear up all over again.

      In the Sporting Poetry round, Rory said Jonah Lomu was soft, which Chris Eubank countered by saying he wasn't. Rory then said "he's a poof", to which Chris responds "but he's a _big_ poof". This led Nick to insist that it was now on record that Chris Eubank thought Jonah Lomu was "a big poof".

    One of the best TV moments of all time. What the clip doesn’t show are the comments Chris Eubank had been making about him earlier in the program, which was one of the reasons for the crowd reaction when the great man came on, the other reason of course was the genuine respect for a great, humble, respectful human being who unfortunately left us too soon.

Rory then said "He's a poof", to which Chris responds "Yes, but he's a _big_ poof". This led Nick to insist that it was now on record that Chris Eubank said Jonah Lomu was "a big poof". That's why after Jonah comes on stage to that huge reaction, Nick says "Well, that was pleasure itself!"

    Either way Lomu is a legend, the best ever, to call him a poof is a pretty poofy comment.
