Escobar 13,676 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Got to be honest I had never heard of the guy until today but after watching a few of his videos, it's clear to see why he is held in such high regard.Demolishes the other team, fuck running into him.

Old No7. 774 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Stood next to the man in his prime Nov 96 England played the NZ Babarians just another name for the All Blacks except they play in Red. Just like the displays put on at Ibrox over the years the Marines were abseiling onto the pitch etc I was lucky to be part of the display. During the anthems I was positioned behind the NZ team and Lomu was directly in front of me. I take my hat off to those who played against him back then as he was built like a multi storey never mind shit house and could run so being on the end of a tackle from him you knew it just look at Catt 95 World Cup. RIP another taken far too soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutonblue 1,974 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Listening to Mike tindall on talksport this morning , Jonah Lomu has never played at full capacity , likened it like running moving with your handbrake on , that was coming from a doctor, imagine wat he would have been like if he was 100% Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamthedanger 2,830 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Devastating news this. Like others, not that big a Rugby fan but grew up watching Jonah. Will never ever forget his performances in the 95 World Cup. The way he would go through players like they were not even there was insane, and to think this was when he was carrying the kidney disease! From what you read and hear he seemed a total gentleman off the park. Very sad Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnymac 115 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 As a proud new zealander this has come as a huge shock. Jonah was loved & cherished by all n,z ers. My thoughts & prayers go out to all his family.He was one of the few players when he got the ball or was about to get the ball u crept forward to the edge of your chair in anticipation that something special was about to happenR.I.P big fela Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegecko 306 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 thats a shame - i remember the big guy running right over the top of the english rugby team in one game. 95 RWC semi final, 4 tries that day. Hard to believe he never won a wc winners medal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,524 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Guy was a steam train. Built like a forward, pace of a sprinter, you could just about see the fear in the eyes of anyone that he was bearing down on.Poor guy. Seemed like a top chap. Won't often quote the Daily Mail, but whilst being sad, this is a great wee article too. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-3215537/JONAH-LOMU-just-want-stay-alive-kids-make-21-Rugby-s-superstar-desperate-second-kidney-transplant-fighting.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
