The sight of Mike Catt shitting his pants as Lomu trampled over him to score a try was quite something.

RIP Jonah Lomu

Would have thought he was more than 40 but sure he was only a gasún when he came on the scene

And Purdey

40 years of age, fucking hell. Always came across as a very genuine guy. 40 is no age.

He was a phenomenon when he came on the scene. Untouchable.

RIP Jonah.

There was no better sight in rugby than when Lomu ran over the English lads. He was a freak of nature with the size and power such a pity to see him brought by illness and taken so young.

RIP Big Jonah.

I am truly shocked and saddened by this news.

And the reaction afterwards from Will Carling describing him as a ‘freak’.

Some good stories from planet rugby

“Just heard Clive Woodward on Radio 4 telling a story about how he was in the ENgland dressing room before an All Blacks game whereby he was giving a pep talk to the team, telling them that he would not have selected any All Black over any of the men in that room. Will Greenwood sticks his hand up and asks “Can we swap Austin Healey for Jonah Lomu”?”

“I remember in 1995 a local radio station had a call-in program before the RWC final dedicated to ways to stop Lomu. One guy reckoned there is only one way: 140kg of pure evil venom… his mother-in-law.”

Eh…

What’s the significance of his school sports’ day results?

That he mullered everyone else in the school at pretty much everything. And that he was a freak when he was a teenager, thereby debunking the beliefs of other that drugs may have been at play, ie that horrible cunt @lazarus

Must be the time difference at play.

Eh maybe he was doing drugs in his early youth like Mythi.

Lomu played in a non vintage era for the All Blacks. Just 71% win rate. I think the All Blacks average is around 75%. It’s been 90% for the last few years.
