James Small, Joost Van Der and Jonah Lomu now reunited playing 80 mins in paradise ❤🙏🏽
Don't forget about Chester ❤️
You think there is a rugby pitch in heaven?
Wtf…really, Chester too? I love overseas so don’t hear this stuff. James small was a super hero when I was in high school.
And Ruben.@@LB-vu1ue
And Ruben Kruger.😢
When I was at high School these were my 2 rugby heroes. Jonah because he was a freak of nature and small because of the fearless way he played. Jonah was obviously very sick when this was filmed and passed away a few months later. R.I.P my heroes
How good is it that this happened when it did, capped off with that sincere handshake at the end.
The way James looks Jonah in the eyes at the end. Love rugby. I'm in tears here. Two greats.
Such an epic moment. :(
Two legends. such respect. Both taken away far too young
The fact that this full Documentary was removed from the Internet, is a selfish sin. Rugby is a Game for everyone, and it should never have been removed.
1995 was such a special time in my life...feel privileged to have lived it.😊
I watched a prayed for Lomu to fail as a rugby player, against the Springboks and the Sharks.
Without him, my life would have been unbearable. I’m great full, to have know this era in our great sport. 🙏
I love that these two are both so humble and have such respect for each other. Testament to their characters. They are the embodiment to the idea that sport is there to teach youngsters how to treat each other. Compete fiercely, but with respect and fairness.
I didn't even know this was up here. How flipping cool. Jonah fully sounds like the matures statesman of the game that he became. And despite being months from the end, he sounds so alive here. I see so much more than just the hugely talented rugby player here. And of course James was my favourite. So cool to see all the comments from kiwis here respecting James' attitude and approach to the game. 2 guys who did transcend the game
Now reunited in heaven
How do you know they are in heaven? They lead very rough lives.
@@steven320 what a weird comment
@@saluterm It the truth
What a stupid comment. F#ck your God you cretin
Where are they then? @@steven320
Sad to think that both men passed away within a few years of this video. You can see that the respect between the players was always there. Competitors of course, but respectful.
2 fucking legends... Rest In Paradise!!
Their legacy keeps me in awe but their early deaths and the loss to the rugby fraternity still saddens me. Thanks, guys 🙏
Holy sh1t this conversation is taking me back to that World Cup and how everyone for a whole week was discussing how to deal with this man and the debate between people saying James can get him vs everything in the past saying nothing can get Jonah. And now we’ve got this on record of the two of them walking us through the events and their thinking. Devastated they’ve both passed on but so happy this recording was made.
2024 and this brought a tear to my eye... The game was played on my birthday 24.06.1995. The birthday gift that I was blessed with.
RiP you two rugby legends, Lomu was the birth of rugby.
We miss these guys... Jonah in 1995 you sparked the modern day rugby excitement that we have today..
You could see Lomu us really sick, but he still puts on a brave face. What a legend 💯
Excellent video....may God Bless Them Both
May they Rest in Peace !! Ultimate Legends of the Game.
Two exceptional men.. god bless them both
This video is a gem. Thank you very kindly for the upload
A very powerful meet up. What a moment. Respect. Rest in paradise men, ❤️.
Rest in Peace, both of you. And play some ball , in Heaven.
Rest Easy Legends - we lost two of the best.
As a kiwi, I must say I liked James Smalls sheer aggression and intensity
Legends, we'll never forget you guys!
Rest in peace, you mighty warriors.
Jonah and James two powerful men. Rugby is the greatest game in the world to teach you respect. Respect for yourself and the opposition.
So heavy. What a great match up. A match made in heaven and will no doubt continue up there.
There is something incredibly sad about the men involved in this game.
Ruben, Jonah, James, Joost, Chester, Kitch, not to mention the scandals around Japie and Hannes
The biggest sadness in the history of rugby is we never got to see jonah play more rugby james small remarkable comment
First time I ever saw James he was playing for Greenside High - at full back, lightning quick. Then would watch him a couple of years later at Ellis Park regularly- still remember the Night series that was played on Wednesday evenings - he was really good.
That last handshake 😢❤
They are still giants of the game of Rugby...both exceptional players... RIP 💜💜 greats Jonah and James
It brings tears to the eyes. How could it not? Let's also not forget Joost, his rugby, his cruel tragedy...greatest half back of all time, some have said...and absolutely NO fear. One time I met him and Pieter Hendricks and Joubert on a night out at the Waterfront in CT. I'm a small man and Joost was just a touch bigger than me...but a guy with the heart of a lion on a rugby field. He was humble and friendly...what a gentleman.
Ruben Kruger was another one who passed away on 27 Jan 2010.
To both of you RIP
We'll never forget these two legends of the game we love❤️❤️❤️❤️ we love you Jonah & James ❤️❤️😪😪
Legends. Huge Respect
Wow, a privilege to see these heroes. My respects to their families.
Two Legends! May they rest in peace❤
Wow, how powerful is this video. Two giant of their sport talking of the golden era of rugby. How amazing is rugby? It not only brings people together, it brings nations together and brings the best out of men. Wow 🏉🏆🏆
They will always be remembered
Resect to arguably the greatest rugby player ever. RIP Jonah Lomu. Not forgetting James an eaqually great player
RIP James.

Jonah Lomu was just the man that changed Rugby for the better. PEOPLE followed the sport just to see Jonah .

Very sad watching this know neither are around anymore
Rugby is special. The opposition are just that in the game but we are all mates.
That is why they call this the gentlemen's game
Amazing to see these two together. Bet they are hanging out in Heaven.
James was carrying a bit of a tummy here. He'd damn well earned the right to do so, of course.
Thank you Jonah James Joost ❤
What a Beautiful prayer. Voice sounds like taika waititi
RIP Legends!
Best players ever god bless
Jonah was not feeling well here
I think for their kids. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
Sadly they have both passed to heaven ❤
was his bicep related to his illness , his bicep doesn't look good here.
What's on lomus arm
A fistula is a special connection created by joining a vein onto an artery. This results in a large robust blood vessel that can be needled regularly for use in haemodialysis. As Jonah mentions in the video he has to go 4 times weekly for HD, to clear out the waste products which his kidneys are unable to clear out of his system, as well as getting rid of the water he retained on the days when he wasn't dialysing.
Small never tackled lomu ..japie and joost did ...small was a bully and a wife beater ...wasted talent.....
Carrying a chip on your shoulder?
Unfortunately, not far from the truth....read what he said to Chester Williams etc....but still,let's just remember him for the rugby,heart of a lion.
