Fun story! When we were kids, my brother and I used to combine our pocket money and rent PlayStations from the local video store on the weekend. Just so happened Jonah was there wanting to rent one, too! (I don't know why he didn't just buy one! I think this was before the big money started coming in!). Unfortunately, there were none left. We told him he could have ours. He was stoked! Told us to hang around and he came back with a Rugby ball and All Blacks jersey signed by himself, Christian Cullen and Tana Umaga! Still got them today!

As a Springbok fan I believe Lomu is the greatest player to have played the game. We can count ourselves lucky to have witnessed the years he gave us. Rest in peace big man.
-
Lomu was and still is the GOAT of Rugby!! He was from another level, another world! a true LEGEND!! So much respect for his memory from FRANCE
-
Awesome guy. So much respect. When Joost vd Westhuizen was wheelchair bound and dying Jonah (himself dying of kidney failure) flew to SA to visit Joost. An incredibly emotional meeting. He wasn’t just an incredible player but also an incredible person. Brings tears to my eyes when I see the video of these 1995 RWC adversaries showing such respect. It is what makes Rugby special. 🙏
-
I actually think , he was one of the best physical specimens sport has ever seen , and I mean all sports . God rest his soul .
-
He deserved a World Cup medal. There will never be another like him again. RIP Jonah
-
Will there ever be a more destructive ball runner in rugby union? He had everything. Lightning fast acceleration combined with immense strength, a sidestep, a fend from hell, and incredible balance that allowed him to stay on his feet even while tacklers were wrapped around his legs. All of that while carrying 118 kgs. That's an insane amount of momentum. Hardest man to tackle in rugby history, and it's not even close.
-
The difference between normal 120kg 6ft5 rugby players and Jonah lomu is that lomu had the agility ,step, balance and pace of a guy far smaller, yet had the power the strength of the beast that he was. Absolutely insane and devastating combination
-
I knew nothing of rugby and then moved to Shanghai and met some UK and Aussie expats and watched the 99 World Cup, and saw this guy for the first time. He was a joy to watch, and you could tell no one wanted to tackle him. Legend.
-
Man, his ability to stay on his feet with so many defenders hanging off him was amazing!! What a legend of a player!!
-
An absolute machine. Best of the best , on and off the field 👌 Giant on the field, and Gentlemen off the field. Lots of love and respect from South Africa 🇿🇦
-
There's never been anyone like him, before or since. His initial acceleration is staggering.
-
Respect not just to Lomu but the opposition guys who stood alone on the last line of defense and preceded to be bulldozed.
-
This guy was a tank with supercar performance. I remember watching him in a NZ vs England match back in his day and he shrugged off tackles from England's best like they were just rag dolls. A truly awesome player and such a tragedy he left us so young.
-
RIP big fella you will never be forgotten one of the best and immortalised.
-
A symphony of speed, strength and balance. Not even the Terminator could have stopped Jonah Lomu. The man was a beast. RIP :hand-purple-blue-peace:
-
I've always heard from my dad and others how absolutely brilliant this guy was, now I can see why. Just imagine seeing this in a live game!
-
I had the pleasure of meeting him as a kid. He was so soft-spoken and humble. When I said goodbye to him all he said was "Be strong!". Absolute legend.
-
Thanks for sharing this, mad respect for this big fella, changed the shape of Rugby Union forever. Died the same day as my beloved Grandmother too. You could argue there were/are more technical players but man, I can think of noone who had such an impact. An awesome gentle giant off the field too, youngsters today, take a leaf. For those of us lucky enough to have seen him in the flesh...take a knee.
-
South African here and I swear even South Africans cheered when Lomu got the ball. Legend of Legends.
