Jonah Lomu Tribute - 1975 - 2015 R I P 

As an England fan I will never forget the way he dismantled the English in that world cup. The way Lomu ran over Mike Catt was awesome and as a rugby fan I had never seen anything like it. What a talent and from all accounts a kind and great gentleman. Respect

The only player in my 60 years to force me to enjoy games where my beloved England lost 😍🇬🇧

I saw him with my son in Christchurch just strolling back to his hotel. Seeing him face to face in the flesh it was impossible to ignore that immense power. We stood like a pair of idiots just gawping. He stopped and his face spread into an enormous smile and he said hello guys. My son in his Yorkshire accent wished him luck. He said aren’t you supporting England? We said absolutely not go the AllBlacks which made him laugh. A true gentle giant.

The speed of a winger, the strength of a prop and modest to boot. Huge respect for Jonah Lomu

Can't remember whether it was a Bledisloe cup match or a world cup game NZ vs Australia, but Jonah gets the ball and is thundering down the wing when Tim Horan from Australia, who was about 1/3 of Jonah's' size, decides he needs to tackle him head on to stop a runaway try. I swear everybody watching thought they were about to watch a death on the field. Incredibly, Horan pulled off the tackle and lived to tell the tale. Jonah was a tank with a human head. But he also had a great skillset beyond his imposing dimensions and this terrific tribute shows just some of his mastery of the game. He was a team player with great personal courage on and off the field. The game was made better by his presence in it.

A great player and a great guy. The last time I saw him, it was long after he’d finished playing, he was surrounded by kids signing autographs for them. RIP Jonah. Respect.

More than an amazing Rugby player, he was also an awesome human being and the world is poorer for losing him at such a young age. RIP you big beautiful beast.

As a Welsh woman. I'll never forget Twinkle toes letting Jonah know we can rugby. 💖💖

I will always think of Jonah with great respect and affection. We lost a giant in every sense of the word. Greetings from South Africa.

Greetings from Tahiti. RIP Warrior.

Oh damnit, I'm tearing up! There is no justice. Andrews and Underwood never really recovered after Jonah thundered through them, it affected their psyche as did it mine as a mere spectator. Possibly the greatest rugby player of all time, he brought the game forward from where the winger was a small nippy fella to a blisteringly fast and monstrously powerful colossus and thus set the benchmark for everything that followed. If you're young and you enjoy RU nowadays you might not even know who is largely responsible for the speed and flow of it. Look no further than the late and mighty Jonah Lomu. G'bless and goodnight Jonah.

I'm South African,not a big rugby fan...but this guy was one....if not the best rugby player of all times!

I'll never forget Jonah Lomu in the 1995 🏉 WORLD CUP I was 15 and never seen anything like it in my life and still haven't. Thank you Jonah for being an amazing man and unbelievable athlete RIP much love from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪

Thanks for this tribute. Jonah Lomu was a true giant with a heart bigger than him. The world needs more guys like him. RIP great man. We miss you.

Massive respect from a wallabies fan. He was the greatest. RIP

Thank you for everything lomu... You may be gone but your memory will live on forever...

Total respect to the great humble man. RIP Jonah.

R.I.P brother 🙏🏿🙏🏿

What a wonderful talent. Certainly a life cut too short. I wonder how many young lives he may have turned around to the positive had he lived a little longer. To his family... (and to the rest of those in awe of his talent) he will never be forgotten.

Loved the big guy even when he was thrashing my team rest in peace big fella 🙏

Malo , malo aupito . Ofa atu toko . Simply the best.

What a legend. Regards from South Africa.

rip jonah . from an england fan . a true great .

No doubt there'll b other rugby 'greats' but there will only ever be one Jonah Lomu, such a joy to watch him dismantling defences the World over. May u rest in peace in God's Kingdom, u've earned it 👍

Late Jonah Lomu made me a huge RWC fan. The day he tragically passed away, I no longer became the RWC fan. For me, late Top Gun: Jonah Lomu WAS, IS and WILL ALWAYS be Rugby's G.O.A.T. Thank you, farewell, God bless and Rest in Peace, Champ. 🙏🙏🙏

The master of initiating the contact.

I miss you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Jonah Lomu by Steve Irungu Jermaine

Football ⚽️ we have Maradona,rugby 🏉 we have Jonah Lomu.Both are legends 👏.

Seen some fantastic players in my life but still not seen a single rugby player that was so exciting to watch with ball in hand. Frightening that he never played at 100% fitness. Sorely missed.

Absolute legend ❤

I'm just here for the comments section. To read the Boks fans BS comments about Jonah not scoring against the Boks. While Lomu never scored, almost every run he embarrassed the Boks defence by steamrolling over 3 or 4 Boks (forwards and backs) so that Cullen, Wilson and other score tries untouched. The Boks were so obsessed with stopping Lomu they forgot there were 14 other players to stop 🤣🤣🤣 RIP Legend

What a LEGEND .....

Lomu legend miss you

As a Non Rugby Fan I used to watch Kiwi international games just to see him. A truly Amazing Athlete feared by All. Gone too soon. 🙏 RIP Big Man, Big Heart.

the sublime player Jonah the great RIP

Fantastic player, sadly missed from a welshman, always loved the guinness advert he was in , brilliant

A true great, there never be another.

The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long...

Sounds and Looks like a (Warrior) in his highlights 👍👍👍👍 "R.I.P" sole

I Had the great pleasure of meeting Mr Lomu in a Tescos, Im the security guard at one of the big Tescos and I was taught (Not by Tesco) to inform CCTV if any celebrities come in so they can watch them incase any punters get a bit funny with the Celebrities, So Mr. Lomu and his son wander into the store just doing their shopping and i tell CCTV and think nothing of it, In the big Tescos they have little independent shops that rent floor space and right next to my lectern was a fitness shop where the two people there that day was a big weightlifting guy and the Manager who was a petit yoga teacher, I wander in there to tell the Weightlifting guy that Mr, Lomu had just walked in and he looked at me blankly and said "Who??" From the back of their shop i hear a big scream and the petit yoga manager comes running up to me shouting "OMG OMG YOU'RE JOKING" i said " No he is here" and showed her on my cameras She was bricking it and said "I cant talk to him he is like my hero" So i thought "Bugger it i will ask him to meet her" So as him and his son were leaving i approached him and asked if he would sign his autograph for her, he was such a class human that he happily chatted with her and had some pictures with her, He died about a week later and she was in bits and so thankful that i had asked him to meet her

the only rugby games I watched were with this guy RIP

Quel joueur !!! Un monstre du rugby !!!

Rest in peace Jonah

An unbelievable rugby player and a train on legs.

Rest in love Jonah!

Great tribute

Pure love 🤎

un grande!!💪💪

Huge Respects

Enorme jugador!!!! Recuerdo su potencia y velocidad. Una pena sus problemas de salud.

Joost was the only guy to level him, he’s gone too.

C’était vraiment un très grand joueur quel plq, de le voir jouer grand monsieur 🙏paix à son âme 😢

I am an Aussie.😀 And he was my favourite player 😀

Unforgettable....

Whenever he received the ball 🏈 you were on the edge of your seat

To match Lomu in that number 11 Jersey you would have to match him or be better can't see it happening for a long long time most definitely an all time great that is untouchable and second to none thanks Jonah forever legend that inspires young rugby players in the future

I enjoy the outpouring of love for Lomu. So many threads about other greats are full of haters. I absolutely detest my instinct it's just because he's gone. But Carter and Wilko and McCaw get no such adulation.

He is the chosen one,,rip Mr lomu

Always in my heart, memories

respect

¡Inolvidable Lomu!

Legend

Best winger ever.

Johna was an all black superstar and always will be a legend he stud out in one of the best all black teams there has ever been such a forse in world rugby rip🏉❤️

As a South African l only can say......Super Star!

Yep....

We all leave one day

Jonah is the best of the best up there with Ali wow just wow

He was a beast

RIP GREAT MAN

Rip grande uomo e grande campione,

RIP
