Another great player is leaving us. Very sad news. He was an inspiration to aspiring rugby players. He will be missed.
RIP Jonah Lomu

Sad news indeed.
He was the inspiration in prolonging my school boy playing days as I watched the other lads develop stronger and quicker around me, meaning I got smashed to bits regularly. I'd go to bed hoping I'd wake up the size of Lomu but it never worked...

I first saw the All Blacks play in Belfast in 1989, a game at which I was a ball boy. They had a winger back then called Va'aiga Tuigamala who was absolutely frightening. Pace, power and the will to win. I have seen them play 3 or 4 times since then but never had the pleasure of seeing Jonah in the flesh. Tuigamala began the process of changing rugby backs but Jonah Lomu changed the whole game forever more. A career that was cut short by illness and now his life cut short too. I dont think I will ever forget the World Cup semi final of 1995 when he simply blew England away.
RIP Jonah.

A sad loss. He redefined the game. Was it Mike Catt who stood in his way and just got run over?

Jonah Lomu's college records 1989 - what a talented all-round athlete.
(Didn't realize he'd been to school with Sir Bradley Wiggo though)
