\u201cHe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s influence transcended sport \u2014 he became the game\u2019s first global icon and remains rugby\u2019s most enduring legend.<\/p>\n
