Fucking hell
He did have a very short career as a rugby player
I was more laughing at the way you constructed your post
Thatâs sad. Even if you werenât into rugby back in the 90s, you knew Jonah Lomu.
RIP

Very entertaining player to watch. Simon Geoghegan was one of the few to manage to tackle him without getting smashed. RIP.

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 gasĂșn when he came on the scene

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 âfreakâ.
Some good stories from planet rugby
âJust 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 âCan we swap Austin Healey for Jonah Lomuâ?â
âI 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.â
