I know he had all those kidney problems but to go so young. I've never been into rugby at all but Jonah Lomu in full flight was something.

RIP

Wow, sad to hear. Amazing player to watch

Always remember him for the try he scored in the 1995 WC semi-final against England where he steamrolled over the top of their fulback Mike Catt

Not a huge follower of Union, but people needn't know anything about the sport to know who this man was.

A genuine match winner when in full flight.

RIP Jonah.

When I look back at those greats of sport, in my time of following, Jonah Lomu's name sits comfortably among them. Absolutely amazing to watch when at the peak of his powers.

Having spent a year playing Union i can only imagine how scary it must have been to be standing there flat footed while a bloke a 6ft plus 100kg plus who runs the 100 in less than 12 seconds charges at you.

No thanks.

RIP Jonah true legend of Union.

Understating his size a bit there 6'4" 120kg

I didnt post that they were his exact measurements

Either way his bloody big.

Always knew he was going to go earlier due to his illness, but nevertheless a shock this week. To lose him so soon. He'll be up there playing The Game They Play in Heaven with Jerry. RIP Jonah.
