American Reacts to Jonah Lomu ULTIMATE TRIBUTE ♛ Lord of the Wings
#Rugby #Reaction #rugbyleague - เกม
He was 19 at RWC 2995. Lovely Christian brother and absolutely devastating runner and defender. Did hisTongan history proud.
Jonah is parents came from Tonga🇹🇴 but he was born and raised in South Auckland New Zealand . He was a beast but also a really humble person loved by everyone in new Zealand . He was a true legend 6'5 260-275lbs running 10.8s says it all 🙌
That speed is amazing to be that tall that big and be so quick on his feet. Amazing!!!
RIP Jonah, also he was only able to use 75% of his capacity because of internal problems 😢❤
♥️
Jonah's heritage is Tongan. However his beautiful big legs are from his Samoan side.... something like that 😊😅😅
I think when Jonah was young, he played rugby with his friends on sand, which is much more difficult to run on compared to grass which built up his strength.
Its so awesome watching memories of jonah, we're so lucky he played for our all blacks.
Jonah Lomu was rugby's first real star in the professional era. His career started just as the professional era of the game began, and he was one of the major reasons that rugby players got bigger, faster, and in way better shape.
One of Lomu's most under rated abilities was his balance. He was often able to keep his balance, and his legs driving forwards, when most others would have been knocked over. It's a tribute to his strength, and his agility to be able to move as he did, especially at the speed at which he was able to do it. 260lbs and can run a 100m in 10.8 seconds? That's terrifying when it's coming at you at full speed, snorting like a champion bull in Pamplona.
Off the field, he was a lovely human being, which only contributed to his legend. No one had a bad word to say about him, and the tribute Haka that was done at his funeral is on YT and worth reacting to. He was universally feared on the field and liked off it.
And all this, is coming from an Englishman whose team was on the receiving end of his speed, skill and talent far too often. His illness robbed us of an even better career, and his family or a great person. RIP Jonah.
Thank you for your comment which told all.
He was the youngest player when he started playing international games he was only just turned 19 when he first started. And the music is courtesy of our own New Zealand Rapper Scribe. And no we have to wear mouth guards playing this game, probably only protection we have in the game oh and learning how to tackle properly is a must.
Jonah revolutionised the game. He was the first player who was that big and could move that fast. Putting him on the wing set a precedent. Usually he would have been a forward. Now massive wingers are everywhere.
That speed was something else Roy and even closing on down other players Amazing.
I was a winger in school in the mid 90's, was instantly expected to be bigger and stronger after the 95 world cup. Completely changed the game.
He was bro naturally big his Tongan genes really played a big part in his rugby,you are watching a true legend. Rip Jonah
Jonah would still be a hell of a lot bigger and faster than anyone playing today. The guy was immense. These are international players he is swatting out the way and running over. NFL teams were very interested in him early in his career. But if you are already playing for the most winning sports team in the history of sports - any sport, it'd be hard to leave
This grown man was younger than the players he was brushing aside in many of those clips. Worth mentioning that may of those he is flattening are 6’ and over.
He had a rough childhood, and was stabbed multiple times. He died of kidney problems. They never made it clear if that was from those early injuries. He played even after developing the kidney problems. He was one of the most respected players. At slightly over 6ft 5ins he was tall for a rugby player, that did not stop him being one of the fastest in the game. However it was his heart and drive that defined him.
I'm learning about the heart condition stuff now and yes heart and the will to push the game. He's a monsters and I'm reading about his story. RIP
RIP Jonah. Is and will always be my favourite player ever.
RIP
I remember seeing him at arrivals at Gatwick Airport think it was 2008? Anyway iam a grown man in my 50s and I was in awe of how big he was and so cool and laid back,I said hello and he was courteous enough to stop and say how am I...genuine athlete and superstar.
That's an Awesome Moment Gary.
The teenager that destroyed big hard men with ease . 260lbs of freight train 10.8 100m . RIP GOAT .To see him perform the HAKA was terrifying to the opponents .
RIP
Jonah is Polynesian of Tongan heritage and born in New Zealand. Power, speed with explosive first 20m but could maintain his speed with nimble feet and a crazy ability to duke (side steep) he outplayed players his size with balance and speed & smaller players with power. Turned down Dallas cowboys NFL to stay in rugby for a lot less money.
Jonah was so humble and such a good sportsman
Legend!!!!!
In 1995 at the Rugby World Cup, he set the new standard of what a rugby player should look like. South Africa won the Rugby World cup 1995 and the only team to prevent him from scoring a try against them by Jonah Lomu. Mayor respect for him from a South African.
Jonah never scored against Wakes either…smh
React to Jonah Lomu Haka Tribute - Just a show of appreciation and respect for Rugbys first Superstar and all time GOAT!
The physical bodies of Rugby players, especially in the top level game can be divided into two "periods" or epochs - Before Lomu (BL) and After Jonah (AJ). When Jonah arrived on the scene, everything changed!
That was the key thing about Jonah his natural size. Naturally big man. Miss this Legend.
Legend!!!!
If you look at the stats of the other players you will probably find they were NOT little guys. They would have been 5'11-6'2" and 195-220lbs. He was just REALLY big
Best rugby player.
He was my idol,I’m English but have family that lived and served in the NZ army so I like to think I have a little NZ in me lol,I cried like a baby the day he went to heaven,he wasn’t well for a while bless him but at least he’s not in pain or suffering any more and I’ll see him in heaven,RIP LEGEND
Hard to believe he was a KID destroying MEN!!….physically and mentally in every aspect of this rugged and blessed GAME……truly one in a BILLION
His 40 yard dash would’ve been light years ahead of anyone in the game,simply MAJESTIC with the ball in his hand at full speed , Unstoppable it took an army to almost stop him every-time……One on One was a no contest and foolish to the man who stood in his path……his SIZE was also a game changer especially for a WINGER….no one had a wing this SIZE back in the day,every TEAM especially his opposing WINGER dreaded facing JONAH…….
Only one JONAH 🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯
The goat. He was very fast. Unfortunately he had kidney problems for much of his life, which meant he wasn't always at full fitness even during these videos.
Legend
Its that Pacific blood running through his veins straight up warriors. Johna was the man i remember meeting him as a kid got his autograph and a photo
South Africa played their entire final championship game around Jonah, it took 4 or more men just to bring him to his knees, at 14 he beat his father up and threw him out because of his abusive nature to Jonah’s mother. Such a shame he passed away but at least he got to watch the all black win a championship before he passed
Occasionally you get these freaks in sports, Jona in Rugby, Jordan in Basketbal, Bolt in Athletics and Ronaldo & Messi in Soccer who are head and shoulders above
I agree with you on that!!!
After he died they perfomred three hakas for him. You can find the vid on TH-cam if you want to see it. Very sad to lose him, he was unique.
I sure will. Thanks
Gone too soon. Rest In paradise Jonah 🖤
Basic rules
1. ITS LIKE THE triple option in football but your not allowed to block or pass forward..... you can only kick it forward, not throw
2. If the ball hits the ground and goes forward, it's called a knock on penalty....
3. If you block to create running lanes, there is an obstruction penalty, so consequently you have to have great ball movement to get great runs with no blockers......... which is why Jonah was so special, he didnt need it...
4. the line of scrimmage is not a set point where someone is tackled, it starts with whoever has the ball, and everyone has to be behind whoever has the ball, or its offsides..
5. WHEN there is a penalty, you either have a scrum, or a field goal if the team not committing the penalty is close enough...
6. When you get tackled, you must release the ball or you will get a penalty.....So even if you run 80 yards, you still loose the ball if guys aren't around you... Which means the objective if you cant score is to wait fir your teammates.... Whenever there is a tackle, the ball carriers teammates clean out the defenders who can pick the ball up before the offensive picks up the ball up to advance it.....
7. A tri(touchdown) is 5 points. Extra point is 2
Here is the thing about Rugby and I played 2 years.... Although you would think it would, concussions happen much less frequently in rugby because you instinctively dont tackle leading with your head because of no helmet gear..
You really should see his funeral, with hakas.
Will Carling, our (huge) Captain of the England team, said ruefully after we'd had to face him (and Rugby Union had just gone professional) "The sooner he takes up professional knitting the better!"
the golden Year's,take me back!
🙏
That’s the same thing the rugby people said about Polynesian children we’re naturally bigger than most at different ages so they ban them and make them play in teams their weight going up in age groups, we have giant genetics bro and nutrition compliments that
It was controversial couple years back
7:28 In fact he was offered a contract with the Dallas Cowboys but he turned it down since he said he still love to lay for the All Blacks!
oH WOW. I think that would of been Amazing to see him one year in the NFL. but this is why he's respected Fredo.
@@CVTECK1 he actually had offers from about 4 teams. the amount dallas wanted to pay him as well would have made him the most expensive player at the time think it was in the 10's of millions
“It’s like a high schooler playing against 4th graders” it really is lol
It sure looks like out there. "Jonah is a MAN"
When Jonah came on the scene it changed the game and made it to professional, you should watch some videos of the guys who had to defend against him, poor guys, they all have great stories to tell and all talk about what a nice guy and gentle giant Jonah was off the field but a beast on!!!! R.i.p legend!!!!!
Your reaction deserve my subscription. I dont think we'll ever see another runner with his stride. Just beautiful
Thanks Sefo
Try Nigel Owens : He is universally regarded as the best referee in history.. He is constantly making rules easy to understand for new fans. And he's hilarious. There is 1 youtube vid called " 10 minutes of Nigel being Nigel " Enjoy.
i suppose the easiest way to explain rugby is like basketball BUT
a) you don't have to bounce the ball when you run with it
b) you cannot pass the ball forward
c) to defend you can tackle the ball-carrier
d) when you get tackled its a free-for-all to win the ball on the ground!
there were plenty of big players around when jonah played, they just didn't have his speed,
Big forwards yes. There weren't many if any backs the size of Jonah when he come on the scene.
He sure was a beast to be reckoned with. Have you reacted to Greg Inglis? There’s a similar tribute video on TH-cam which I think is nothing short of phenomenal!
Will be on the list. Dr when I see your name I hide and keep my face clean haaa.
@@CVTECK1 😂 😂 love your work just be you.
@@Dr_KAP I'm the best at being me. 😃
and to add to it bro due to his sickness he wasnt playing at 100% and he played for the jersey not the money , he turned down the NFL a few times ,adidas and heineken did sponser him tho and also had his own playstation 1 game he did live comfortably he could of been rich but thats what is great about him, i did get the chance to meet him when i was 13 my hand was not even covering his palm lol but with his huge beast apperance he was just a gentle humble giant now days we have guys around the same size but dont have wat he had i think jonah then playing now would still carve the field up wingers these days are skinny most bigguys play in the fwds ,the islands produce some big boys
Thanks bro, enjoying your stuff 😊👍
England rugby has a great video of the rules/ positions of the game
Could you imagine what he could have done if he had decided to go play in the NFL……
He would dominate like Herschel Walker did
Kratos tried to tackle Jonah.
He failed, so he called up Zeus.
Zeus also failed.
Jonah had a way of making large men look small. When he played with the All Blacks against South African Springbok S.A businessmen put a 5000 Rand ($) bounty on his head for any player who could tackle him to the ground. He was suffering from Kidney damage at the time. RIP Jonah, deeply loved & missed in NZ.
He got scouted by a couple NFL teams if i remember correctly
He was a beast! Not from Hawaii. True blue New Zealand :-)
He should be treated,with respect and lump sum ,for his hard working,but he was died poor ,and look who are rich from the life's of these hard working young men
Nothing but love and respect
Love the piece bro. Have to check out Dan Carter All Blacks Legend.
Will add to the list Kane, thanks
He was offered a huge NFL contract and turned it down because of his love of Rugby which is fast paced no downs, and has more flexible and creative play. He had a hard childhood. Stabbed 3 times. Post op infections contributed to the future kidney problems that caused his premature death at 40
Fun Fact.... Did you know that the South African Springboks is the only international side that Jonah never scored a try against. rip legend.
PS: Check out Christian Cullen - The Paekakariki Express
On the list thanks Mike.
That he played against. Yes.
I'd say there's a couple of international rugby sides that he never scored against simply due to the fact the ABs hadn't played them throughout his era.
@@mitchand9 the big man played 13 times against the Boks and couldn't score against them. They had his number.
@@dutch5580 he's never scored against Wales either.
I don't understand why there was always this expectancy of him to score a try in every game he played.
Perhaps a major reason why SA lost a lot of those games was probably because they sacrificed too many players to .mark the big fella.
Hahahahaha with out fail on any Jonah clip you get South Africans bringing up their "fun fact".
The goat
Jonah is the master of initiating the contact even with several players around him. A wing is the man that eventually gets the ball in space and his job is the be faster than the rest of the team. Jonah happened to be 118 kg of speed and aggression. Their are bigger men than Jonah on the field like the 4 & 5 who average 198-205 cm and around 118 kg and 3 & 4 are even heavier. Facing Jonah requires Jesus. Bloody legend. Gone home to Jesus now. Watch women's rugby brother, it's brutal too.
He's a Legend for sure and i been reading about his life. RIP
Jonah is from New Zealand
pride of NZ
Brother you can check out rugby rules for Americans...is a good start.
I'm learning slowly and I been watching lots of rugby games last month or so.
I think Jonah was 6'5.. apparently 260
FROM AOTEAROA NZ
And Broooo. This fella operated at 60/70% due to kidney problems.. the crying shame is we never saw him at 100%. Actually for opponents sake, just as well.
Ohh wow 😲. Well if he give only 60/70 % then if your reading this, imagine what we can accomplish when we give 100%. RIP
Yeah, I'd say 70%.
Can you imagine some of the results we had of he'd been at 100%!?
@@almostyummymummy his 70% is a lot of peoples 100% Mummy!!!!
@@CVTECK1 That's the reason why he passed away so young because of his kidney disease.
He got a offer from the nfl. I cant remeber wich team but they offered him 10 million and he turned them down because he just wanted to play rugby for new zeland
Grown man aying against Kids..... Actually in the clip where he has hair (not shaved) it's a kid playing against grown Men. In the early clip Lomu was around 18-20 playing against top tier international players😂
Ohhh it's the other way around wow.
React to rugby big hits - Rene Ranger is a good one
Bo jackson of rugby
The size difference thing, had more to do with the end of apartheid than it did with Jonah. Jonah was a factor for sure, but, the main reason for why players are so big today is, South Africans seem to just breed monsters. Before the end of Apartheid any sized man could take his position except in the second row and lock and front row, where it is pretty much a pre-requisite for the back rowers to be tall and the front rowers to be stocky, so long as they are strong, they train hard and they have the adequate skills to make the team, that was probably all you needed. Then, came the end of Apartheid, and at first it wasn't a whole lot different, but, the South Africans were frustrated with their lack of instant success after apartheid, (with the springboks being THE team back in the 60's) and they must have felt that one way to address it was start drafting some of their big men. They saw the success that Jonah was having, and they must have thought 'well one thing we have is a surfeit of monsters, so lets make use of that. So, in the 2000's you started to see the South Africans with big rangy men right across the whole field, and of course other countries needed to counter that. But yeah, I first noticed the team where the the big rangy guy was the rule rather than the exception first emanated out of South Africa.
What the hell has South Africa and the end of apartheid got to do with Jonah Lomu?
@@craigmccullough7333 so typical of a bonehead to think that this topic is solely about jonah lomu. the guy asked a question, in case you missed.
Rugby league also bro, Afl is like netball compared to Rugby union or league. NZ and Australia good league plahers
How do you prepare for that? Ask Sth Africa :/
Or Wales
Hawaii 😂 bro Americans aren’t very good at rugby, the better nations for rugby are Ireland, England, France, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia (not so much anymore, but definetely in the in 1990’s and 2000’s)
lol...well now i know where Rugby is big so haaa
@@CVTECK1 Well here is a pretty cool fact USA are the 1924 Rugby Olympic Champions (Gold medalists). They still hold the title until Rugby in its full form returns to the Olympics. I am not talking about Rugby Sevens (the shorter form of Rugby) which is in the Olympics.
Its are kid playing with men age 19
Jonah Lomu... shorten the U sound... not Moo...
