RIP Jonah Lomu

[Bluespider]

Watched him score a corner try at Murrayfield, absolute poetry...

And the thing is, he carried his kidney problem his entire life, knowing that the harder he worked with his body the quicker the disease would overtake him...

Absolute Legend.

Very sad and depressing. RIP Lomu

Jeepers. If in doubt, don't upset Will Carling!

Carling was a self important dick IMO.

It's a great shame, he was a superb player who changed the game, 40 is far too young to die.

My (false) memory of the 1995 World Cup is of Lomu incessantly rumbling over the tryline while half the Japanese side clung onto him. Yet Wikipedia indicates he didn't even play in that game.

ISTR NZ put their second team out for that game?

It didn't seem fair, somehow, watching games where his opposite number would be desperately trying to tackle him - like a flyweight trying to outbox a heavyweight.

I recall seeing him when they played England simply throwing Underwood off the pitch by his jersey. I can barely imagine the nerve Underwood must have had to go at him in the first place!!!

A loss to the world

Bumface always was and remains to this day an absolute twunt!

That aside - RIP Jonah, who was awesome on and off the field.
