That's bad news. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/34853536 When someone young and healthy dies it makes you think how close away from meeting your maker you are?

One of the best rugby players ever Died this morning when he got back to New Zealand after a flight from the U.K.
He was only 40 years old but has been ill with various troubles for quite a while.
He was the most exciting player ever in my opinion and it must have been a blow to his family and friends.

He was and inspiration to alot of young players.
I for one used to love watching him play. The power and passion he had was infectious. He will be missed by many.

Here for rides.
Tragic loss to all who knew or admired him.
No age for anyone, let alone an icon, to pass.

I think when you look back at RU development there was the pre Lomu era and the post Lomu era. He seemed to precipitate a change in the way the game was played he was that dominant
Whilst he had had his health problems for a long time I gather it was very unexpected and must be a great shock to his family. Sad news
