Dan Carter said:
“He bowled me over about 5m when I tried to tackle him in one of my first games. A superstar. Gutted I never played with him.”
Richie McCaw said:
“When I first became an All Black he was in the team. To play alongside a guy you have watched as a young fella was pretty amazing. He made me look silly in training more than once.”

New Zealand sevens star Eric Rush once played a game of touch with a 14-year-old Lomu — and invited him to a sevens tournament in Singapore the next day.
BIO:
Jonah Lomu changed rugby forever. Bursting onto the scene at the 1995 Rugby World Cup, he was a one-man wrecking ball, blending terrifying pace with raw power. At just 20, he was already an international superstar. Off the field, he remained humble, admired for his grace and courage battling a rare kidney disease. Lomu’s influence transcended sport — he became the game’s first global icon and remains rugby’s most enduring legend.
