Aragorn11: Jonah Lomu 1975-2015 RIP.

What a player, a once in a lifetime talent.
But more than that, everything I have ever read about him, talked of him humility, compassion and strong will fighting the afflictions that cut his career short.

He will be missed.


What a legend, gone too soon. sad flower

Yep, gone too soon.

Just read a quote credited to him at this World Cup.

''I could still mix it with these guys'' laugh

Jerry Collins and now the sudden death of Jonah Lomu....it's been a tough year for the boys....putting aside the World Cup for a moment.

Jonah said all he wanted was to live to see his children reach adulthood....he has two boys...ages 5 & 6. Never made it....sad flower

He was a powerful force on the rugby field....but was a gentle soul off the field.

RIP rose

The media do seem to be keeping their distance which must be a relief to his family.

I have to go....on my lunch-break....

Very sad to hear this, prayers to his family and friends. Gone far too soon, he was truly one of the greatest rugby players ever.
