    The greatest rugby player of all time - he changed the face of the game forever

  • @Wowvis-lc9us

    Gentleman Jonah wasn't self centered past the ball if he thought the team were in a better position to score the try

    RIP Big Man, you were a true inspiration to 2 young boys and it was a great honour to meet you. Thank you and bless you for all you brought to Rugby.

    I shook hands with Lomu in 1995. His hands were three times the size of my hands.

    Started watching rugby because of Jonah Lomu. Still is the face of rugby for me. Was really sad when I read that he passed away. RIP Jonah! Greetings from germany.

    95 England game is the best individual performance ever.

    Honest feedback from an American. I have tried to find out who is the best Rugby player of all time, and I have heard of this man RIP, I have heard of Dan Carter, Dupont, Wilkinson from England and and and... I am looking at these highlights and the man is fast, big and agile, but I am looking at great passes giving him an open field to run into.... Conclusion: This sport is a team team team sport, and it is impossible to just find a greatest of all time, because they are going to always be from the greatest teams because they are set up to succeed by other great players (Some considered to be the greatest themselves)... I know this is the case in team sports in general, but I am being very specific with this sport because it seems to be even more.

    S.A. managed to stop him in the 1995 wc match.

    He had the capability to get recognition from both sets of supporters. Incredible player.

    Jonah gave everything in that ‘99 losing semi against France. One of his best games.

    As kids we would go watch Jonah whether it was NPC or Super rugby, didn't care which team he played for we just wanted to watch Jonah. Everytime he got the ball everyone rose to their feet because they knew something special was about to happen! When it comes to rugby Jonah will always be our nations hero 💯 rest easy big guy ❤️

    RIP Jonah Lomu (May 12, 1975 - November 18, 2015), aged 40

    I grew in the town of rugby. William webb Ellis who invented the game..so you can imagine i absolutely love the sport. But Mr Lomu was something else. Fun fact..Johna Lomu weighed 17st, yet ran the 100meters in 10 seconds flat, imagine that coming towards you? Anyone who played serious Rugger will understand what i mean..unbelievable player. And a lovely guy too. Had the privilege of meeting him. Humble guy. In a brutal sport Mr lomu made it beautiful. Rest well sir❤
