RIP Jonah

A true legend of our code

Gee, that is bad news. He looked in good shape during RWC.

He redefined aspects of the game and was the first true global Superstar of Rugby.

Jerry Collins must have been smashing all the wingers up in Heaven for the Selectors up there to put Jonah's name on the team lists for this weekends game.

RIP Big Fella.

Really feel sorry for his kids. They will grow up without a father and that is tough for any kid. Really sad.

 

[Viking]

The biggest Legend of the game.

And such a gentleman. RIP.

 

[USARugger]

RIP.

A truly insperational person on the field and more importantly of the field.
The game is better for him being a part of it.

Rest easy big fella. As an Wobs supporter I feared watching you charge at our players, but admired you for the enthusiasm and passion you brought to the game.

 

[Inside Shoulder]

He looked in good shape during RWC.

SMH reporting the death was unexpected so may not be related to his kidney ailment.
Sad.

Is that Brendan Williams at 53 seconds being steamrolled? Pretty sure it is. Brendan tells a great yarn about his attempted tackle that day.

Very sad news, he was a giant of the game in more ways than one and reportedly an absolute gent off it. RIP big guy.

The words "legend", "icon", and "star" are handed out by the media to many sportsmen and sportswomen every year.
Unlike many of them, Jonah Lomu was the "genuine article". It has been a privilege to have seen him play the game we all love.
Our condolences to his family, his friends, and to the whole New Zealand Rugby community.

RIP Jonah

RIP Jonah. An all time great.

I remember watching him play for Counties after he had left school and prior to making the Blues and not being able to believe my eyes that someone that large and powerful could run as fast as he could.

Tragic, Jonah Lomu was the first rugby player i ever knew, loved & wanted to be despite my love for the Wallabies, he just had that about him. An absolute superstar.

RIP mate

 

[Iluvmyfooty]

very sad. A true great of our game. All supporters of all rugby nations will feel this loss.

Some beautiful tributes from Joost and Timmy today. He was clearly loved by his brothers in rugby.
