Can not imagine how many spinal surgeries, torn rotator cuffs, dislocated shoulders and headaches he has inflicted during his time on the field, should be in the Guinness book of World records.. watched him from Wesley College to Counties Steelers to ABs. Legends live forever
+Mataiasi Lomu The world of rugby is today mourning the loss of a true legend. We are grateful for his life & feel the pain of his loss. Rest in peace great man!
And wasn't that just fantastic? I could watch that moment when he blasted his way through and steamrollered over poor old Mike Catt again and again. That twat Carling wanted him banned from the game because "he was a freak", the fucking gobshite. MsG
@christopher russell Yup. "Joel Strinski you beauty". South Africa winning was so unlikely that they ended up making a damn film about it. Their gameplan? Don't let Lomu get the ball. They beat the All Blacks in the middle of the field and kept picking up penalties. Kept the game tight.
christopher russell well you’re still here watching him in awe, otherwise what are you doing here? Just browsing, coincidence? I’m here because I respect and admire him, you??
@christopher russell what a stupid comment - "south sea islanders" nz is a south pacific island filled up with south pacific islanders and I bet you wish Jonah hadnt been born in nz then you could get on the old well-worn british fable "nz poaching a southsea islander" bandwagon - you twat!!!
I m not a big fan of Rugby but this guy made me follow several games . Great athlete and person legends never die ! R.I.P. Jonah Lomu may God rest your soul!
Even though i'm South-African I couldn't help but cry watching Jonah.. great man !! He never scored a try against the Springboks because his rugby brother Joost van der Westehuizen was always there to except his challenge. #Respect
The way that Lomu run at his prime is like a young Ronaldo Nazario, both had the same body moves, that thunderous acceleration and direction changes, fints... Really beautiful and devastating. Great great great player
+Paathurnax To me the best Rugby player I have seen on video was Lomu, and the best soccer player I have ever seen is Ronaldo R9 from Brazil. I agree with similarities from both Phenomenons of Soccer and Rugby.
This man was truly an athlete of Epic proportion. Strength of an african elephant. Acceleration of a cheetah. Skill to equal ANY1. Simply, a force of nature that was on a totally different level to any1 else. Soooo tragic that he left this earth wayyy before he should of. RIP Jonah Lomu. RESPECT.
+Marco Peláez Fernández More like an rhino running as fast as a cheetah - only thing I enjoy more than watching him steamroll 3 tacklers at once is seeing him run past, through and away from would-be tacklers. Fuckin LEGEND... shame about his illness; he would've set records that would never be broken
The ferocity of this man. The absolute balance. The explosive speed. The perfect foot work. And most of all the mindset of this man is what makes him the greatest rugby player of all time.
Probably the most iconic rugby player of all time and I'm an Englishman. I will never forget how he burst onto the scene from nowhere in the 1995 world cup; he was the man of the moment who every kid wanted to emulate in the playground at the time, even non rugby fans were talking about him! I should imagine trying to tackle him would have been like trying to stop a freight train charging at you at full speed; it would have been impossible. RIP big man.
no one has even come close to replicating Jonah Lomu on the rugby field, no in speed, size & power all-in-one package...such an awesome human being. I had the privilege of meeting him, and totally a different person off the field. Respect dok's, R.I.P
This guy man..... He coulda been a soccer player, nfl player, basketball player, fighter anything, hes just overall beast this guy uses lava for bed sheets he eats cereal and drinks blood for breakfast, the muscle on him he probably squats 400+ benches a prius. "We have an army""we have a hulk" i want a Jonah Lomu for any battle R.I.P
I have never been able to get into rugby because we don't have it over here in America but this man belongs with the greatest athletes to ever walk the earth. I don't think I've ever seen somebody of his size run with that much grace
What do the All Blacks do with a 120kg forward who can also run faster than anyone else on the field. The put him in the backs and created a legend. You will see, repeatedly in the clips, where he just runs through the tacklers. The oppostion are lauded international teams here. Its true that this man, a true gentle role model for a generation of kids, was a quiet reserved man. Rugby will not be the same without him.
I saw Lomu come towards me once in Auckland and he veered off and spoke to a friend of mine. Very peaceful calm person, nothing like the man we saw on the field. Made me realize he was just like me a kid from a suburb in Auckland who later became the biggest Rugby star ever. RIP.
No-one transcended the sport of rugby union quite like Jonah Lomu. Bursting onto the scene of the 1995 World Cup, Lomu was a force of nature, the player of the tournament by some distance. His blend of pace, power and size never before seen.
This man brought an incredible beauty and grace to rugby. Like Usain Bolt, Mr Lomu is just beautiful to watch. What a sad, sad loss to rugby and to the world. But thank you for sharing your incredible talent with the rugby watching public. Unforgettable and irreplaceable.
Was very lucky to meet this guy in Poole, England about 2 months before his death. He’s such a kind, humble man. I was shocked to hear he died soon after. Rest in peace Jonah, we love you. 🖤
Not just a rugby legend, a legend of sport. I don't think has been anyone, even in the history of the world perhaps, with his combination of speed, height and strength. RIP.
It's only fitting that the first video I see today is his tribute. A gentle giant with a freakish talent, unlike any the world has seen. You will be missed, Jonah. You will be missed...
Shocked, stunned & tearful at the passing of The Legend that was Johah Lomu. He strode the field like a Titan & moved with the power & speed of an express train. Rugby is today mourning the loss of a true great! RIP.
Possibly the greatest Rugby player we will ever see I was fortunate to have seen him play against the Wallabies live in 2000 RIP Jonah You will be always be remembered
I never seen anything like him he was unbelievable and when he sadley passed away i just couldnt believe it, what a loss to the sport. R.I.P Jonah forever a legend mate!
Jim Brown too. Another American football legend. You are right, you did not want to be in the way of Lomu. Pure strength and speed... check. Competitiveness... absolutely. And they do it all without padding! Great runs, thanks to whomever posted this.
He was undeniably the greatest winger ever, but what made him even more remarkable was that under the pressure & adulation he remained a humble, generous, thoughtful and all-round good guy! - once in a life time athlete. God Bless you Jonah
Watching him pound his way through the field... It is very hard to believe he was stricken down... He was sooo powerful and so healthy... Bless you Jonah for gracing our lives...
I hadn't heard of Jonah until 15 minutes ago (not very familiar with rugby). This blows my mind. The power, speed and agility on display is super-human. Definitely need to watch some more of this game.
@@keanujackson2834 you can't when you have kidney disease. I have same and I agree 70 per cent is even pushing it! He was the best even at 70 per cent! So you can imagine how great he was!
@@ronbonora7872 I have the same disease too, it's a punch in the guts because you can never be your full potential with kidney disease, messes up a lot of functions in the body, you can still be athletic and competitive but can never reach your full potential.
What I'm really sad about is that we never got to see Jonah in absolute peak fitness and playing maturity. He was devastating to watch when he first started but sadly his kidney issues were already sapping his energy. I'm in awe that he actually continued to play as well as he did but he never got to see him reach his peak. That would have been extraordinary to watch. RIP JL and thanks for sharing what you did while you were here.
I never liked Rugby, until I knew of Jonah Lomu. What a machine. Every male kid would look at this clip and say, I want to be like that. Its fantastic.
hozzers316 The compitition was smaller and slower. He wouldn't last a game in the NFL, He runs standing straight up and could never take the big hits from linebackers. He knows that, thats why he stays in rugby.... Rugby is lame
UKMSports He's the same size as Gronkowski,there are alot of guys in the league his size. He has never taken the hits he would take if he was in the NFL. I agree he is a good athlete but I don't think he could take a NFL pounding. I promise you there would be some guys that wouldn't be afraid to tackle him. Sounds like Wagner was just being polite. Why doesn't he come over and try out like Hayne is doing ? I would love to see players from other countries in the NFL,it would make it funner to watch and create intrest oversea's. NBA Basketball and MLB Baseball have people from all over the world playing but they can't find anyone oversea's to play American football...[I understand they are not exposed to it] It's still truly a American game.

Michael B. He was actually still a good 10-20 lbs heavier than gronk and not just faster in a straight line but he is far more agile and his cuts are are much better than gronks, don't get me wrong I love the nfl and nowadays in rugby I doubt anyone could match the running power and speed of nfl players like AD, but honestly rugby is a becoming far more physical and if you actually have the courtesy to look them I suggest having a gander at hosea gear manu tuilagi rene ranger henry speight or julian savea
Michael B. Another point to note is rugby has a very strong polynesian player base far more so nowadays than jn the old footage here and a report showed that children born to samoan parents are 56 times more likely to make it in the nfl than children born to those of other races so don't go telling me rugby players are weak or unathletic
You just never expect a man that size to move as swiftly and precisely as he does. When he goes full bore it's truly magical to witness. A great and unexpected loss
Woke up to the sad news that he passed away. It's only fitting that the first video I see today is his tribute. A gentle giant with a freakish talent, unlike any the world has seen. You will be missed, Jonah. You will be missed...
That’s Polynesian blood flowing through his/our veins for u bro!!! He woulda been the greatest and a true warrior back then w/ his ancestors. He does not give up, and does not hold back!!!
I was never a great fan of Rugby, my mate tells me of an All Black that runs through a pack like a Lion, I take a look and I am immediately hooked, this guy is the perfect athlete and in the prime of his life, It was a privilege to watch this colossus perform at the very highest level of his sport and may I add, he always came across as a very humble and good person, the world at this time would do well to follow his example, it is not always about, fame, money and fortune, sometimes it is about the PERSON.
6’5, 120kgs, 10.89sec 100m.. Lomu is a once in a life time player. I’m honoured and blessed to of seen him play 💯
He was 6ft 6

Now there is a man who never skipped leg day.
It's in the polynesian genes.
Actually quite the opposite, his legs were naturally so big that he always skipped legged day.
I Aam
As a teenager at home he use to squat car engines.
Too big, too strong, too humble, too great. Thanks for the memories Jonah RIP
Too fast

I was never a great fan of Rugby, my mate tells me of an All Black that runs through a pack like a Lion, I take a look and I am immediately hooked, this guy is the perfect athlete and in the prime of his life, It was a privilege to watch this colossus perform at the very highest level of his sport and may I add, he always came across as a very humble and good person, the world at this time would do well to follow his example, it is not always about, fame, money and fortune, sometimes it is about the PERSON.
