I remember watching a documentary about him on the plane ride to Mexico last year.

He was badass for sure. Rip.

i was so sad when i heard this.

i grew up playing union and idolising lomu.

i am thinking that i was lucky to see him play back in 2000 during one of the bledisloe matches in sydney when i was a kid.

 

[MadSquabbles500]

How did he die?

 

[Rum]

A mighty one has fallen.

Like Hunto a good South Auckland Polynesian boy who was a terror to face in the sports arena but as humble and friendly as it gets to meet outside it.

RIP you absolute legend.

 

[Chris John]

How did he die?

It seems to be unconfirmed at the moment, but he has had a 20 yr battle with a rare kidney disease that led to a kidney transplant some 10 years ago.
He played his entire career with the illness, I can only imagine how good he could have been without it.

He transcended the sport, and is a legend in the truest meaning of the word.

R.I.P and God Bless.

Shithouse. losing Lomu and Jerry Collins in less than 6 months.

 

[The Judas Pig]

I'm absolutely gutted to wake up to this news, I grew up watching this beast destroy teams.

My heart goes out to his family.

 

[Rum]

Go Jonah.

Go on Jonah!

Go on JONAH!!

GO YOU GOOD THING!!!

I had a ticket for that great game but had to go back to England and watched it from my TV in newcastle gutted I wasn't there as that was the best Rugby game out of both code's I either saw (and I'm a Rugby League fan first).

Neverless R.I.P. big fellow.
