RIP Jonah Lomu

At the mere age of 40, the world sadly said goodbye to the rugby giant – in so many ways – that was Jonah Lomu this week, who unforgettably introduced himself to the rugby and sporting world at the 1995 Rugby World Cup, destroying defences with astonishing displays of pace, balance, acceleration and power. A natural athleticism and physique that set the template for today’s muscle-bound, gym-dwelling, supplement guzzling professionals 20 years later. He’s probably not the greatest rugby or even All Black player ever, but nobody has created such an impact in the sport before or since. RIP Jonah, you’ll never be forgotten.
