worked as a mechanic in Glen Waverley Melbourne ,a Toyota Camry had stopped on the road and a few ladies were struggling to work out how to put the spare on ,i helped out as you do and a man was in the backseat but an ill man who was on a few hours off from hospital where he was going through dialysis treatment ,they needed directions back to Cabrini if i recall rightly,i just looked at Jonah and he just looked at me as they drove away ,RIP LEGEND
Watching this now leaves me with a lump in the throat. We were priviledged to have seen both of them play.... the most complete wing and the most complete scrum half. Thank you for all the joy you gave us.... Never forgotten.... R.I.P
As a springbok supporter, Jonah were bigger than life.thank you Jonah,even you were suffering, You've made Joost day.both will be in our hearts always.legends
RIP both you two, you were the greatest, both in rugby, but also true gentlemen. You will always be remembered, by both our countries. NZ and SA rules!
Ah man, this is painful to watch. Two of my rugby heroes, both now gone. Met Joost after the Ireland game in 2000 in the Temple Bar district. He stood and chatted with a drunk star struck 19 year old for at least 20 minutes. Will never forget that. Rest well you two greats of the game.
Two great legends of the game, so much respect for each other. Jonah was the true superstar of rugby, amazing athlete not just as a rugby player but as an athlete he was amazing. 6"5 260lbs of pure muscle, speed power grace agility he had it all. Joost probably the greatest no9 in rugby history, he won the World Cup by stopping Jonah had he not newzealand would've won the World Cup with try
WOW that was just awesome, two legends talking about that classic RWC final in 1995. They had so much respect for each other....R.I.P Jonah Lomu. You will be missed.
In floods of tears here, 2 of the greatest Gentlemen this planet has seen. Love rugby love the respect and these 2 great warriors are a credit to mankind.
Two of the brightest stars in world rugby! Never had I seen a winger of Lomu's pace & physical stature & never had I seen a scrum half of Van Der Westhuizen's size & power. Sport can be so rewarding & life so fucking cruel! Keep on fighting Joost & RIP Jonah.
Thank you Joost, thank you for everything you have done for our Nation, thank you for the laughter in our living rooms, thank you for the proud moments you gave us, the feeling of a united South Africa... Now these tears are not of joy, but of sorrow.. God Bless the both of you!
It was such a symbolic& wonderful gesture on the part Jonah Lomu to visit the stricken,debilitating Joost Van Der Westhuizen in Joburg.I salute& take off my hat 4 Jonah Lomu `s amazing gesture.Jonah is certainly welcome to the League of humanity!.RIP JONAH LOMU,The NZ Giant Winger that transformed amateurish rugby ushered it into professionalism with his outstanding performances @ the 1995 Rugby Worldcup.
As a man of Joost's stature I can only look up to such a man. But as an All Black supporter I feel for Lomu, this is an amazing video. When Lomu said "I love you" I shed tears. Beautiful statement to the best game on earth. Memories of the World Cup Semi Final 2015 string to mind, one of the best games I've ever seen.
I'm a Springbok supporter and I have no problem with losing that 2015 semi final. That was easily one of the greatest games of rugby ever played and there has to be a loser at the end of the game. Could have gone either way and there is no better team to lose to.
Always brings a tear watching this. Two legends of the game an£ for me my favourite scrum half/ no 9 loved his style. And that comes from a Welshman . 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏴
life is short folks .. nobody knows what will happen ... all we got is our mates and our families .. be good to each other .. that's al that really counts
My word... how powerful is this... two of the giants of the game in recent times but still such humble people. I may not have been one of the lucky few to have known them personally but these guys always make me cry with their humility and preparedness to help others, even at the worst of times. It also makes me appreciate what the MacMillan staff and all of the staff at Darlington Memorial Hospital in the UK did for my Mum; and they continue to do it every day... thank you to all carers out there...paid or otherwise. You are loved.
RIP Joost van der Westhuizen (February 20, 1971 - February 6, 2017), aged 45 And RIP Jonah Lomu (May 12, 1975 - November 18, 2015), aged 40 You both will be remembered as legends
So glad he got to see Joost before he passed on. Rest in peace big fella. All the best to Joost and his family. This is what makes the game of rugby great. Tough competitors on the pitch, friends off it.
What a privilege to watch this. Jonah Lomu, respect! A true gentleman, and legend of the game. RIP, a great loss to world rugby. Joost, keep fighting bru, you too have done so much to bring awareness of the disease. Don't give up.
Both suffered so much with Nephrosis and Motor Neuron Disease which are 2 nasty and life sucking illnesses! One can only imagine the pain they and their families endured:-( But now Jonah and Joost are together in the kingdom of heaven sitting on their rightful thrones where they belong! Miss them both dearly! I will NEVER EVER forget them!!!
rugby has never been the same since jonah lomu got ill and since joost van der westhuizen got ill they were THE BEST LEGENDS SUCH A BIG LOSS !!! such a great.. but sad video!! RIP CHAMPS
So poignant. I met Jonah a few weeks before he died. Such a gentle giant... spoke so well to kids at my school about his life. And Joost... best 9 in the world at his peak. RIP, the both of them.
An Extremely Strong Representation of Good Sportsmanship. We may be fighting eachother for the World cups n bledisole and all that stuff but at the end of the day we are all on the same side.
Why is it that at after the evening party is done and I send the missus to bed I always end up on you tube and I find myself here?? Jonah and Joost!!!!!! Nothing Like getting goose bumps from REAL MENS STORIES!!!
So sad to see two warriors laid low by such cruel illnesses, but truly inspirational to see them smiling through adversity. True Rugby spirit. RIP Big Guy.
These two are immediate selections in the ultimate team upstairs!! Joost ended up having his personal faults ... like we ALL do ....but he more than paid for any mistakes he made - like he did on the field! Two legends - the world lost two greats! In rugby and in life
Wow, just discovered this. Beautiful and sad in equal measure. This is about the respect and friendship that goes beyond simply winning or losing a rugby game.
Pair of legends, now tackling each other on the big pitch in the sky. RIP
Brendan Power If rugby heaven has a First XV, they're on the same side.
sure dude
RUGBY: 80 MINUTES OPPONENTS, BROTHERS FOR LIFE

Looks like Jonah needed a World Class number 9 and a good friend in Heaven today. RIP to two beautiful humans may they never feel pain again

The best winger and the best halfback I've ever seen in my 50 years.....just sensational - very moving video. Thanks for this.

Very sadly Joost has left us to join his old pal Jonah. Free from that insidious disease at last...A true rugby legend! RIP.
I watched the 1995 World Cup final. One of the most important days in South African history. RIP Jonah & Joost. We will always remember you.
