Wow what a complete shock.

He was a monster of a player for the Kiwi's and I believe a true gentleman.

R.I.P Sir!

40 years young, such a sad loss to a giant of the sport
RIP

Anyone who has ever played rugby dreams of being able to do what Jona did. Memories of him are with me always when I see a possible break from a back line, especially during the recent World Cup.


My estimation of Dallalio went up leaps and bounds as I remember one instance of Dallalio going for Jona head on when Jona was just getting going. Didn't stop him mind! I would have been terrified in that situation.......


So, so sad that he has gone so young but his family will be immensly proud of him once the immediate hurt has gone.


Thanks Jona,


David

I had the honour of watching him destroy England at Old Trafford, might have been 1997; no one had a bad word to say about him on or off the pitch.
I think that I got some dust in my eyes a bit this morning when I heard the news not very manly I know!

Chris Evans played a Haka as a tribute to Jonah Lomu. Gave me a lump in my throat.

18 and a half stone, 100m in 10.8, blisteringly quick, ridiculously strong and fantastic ball carrying skills. Some of the offloads in that clip were perfection. An absolute beast of a sportsman who inspired a whole generation of players and changed the game forever.

Beast of a player, a great inspiration, a fast big guy. Will be sadly missed
