Jonah Lomu

“You keep coming through the ranks, you become a provincial player, you become an international, but very few can be unstoppable at international level. He was unstoppable.”

In his eulogy, his good friend Eric shared:

“Jonah reached heights on the football field that had never been seen before, and you know it’s hard to imagine anybody reaching those heights ever again. I’m sure somebody’s going to come along one day, and it’s going to be a great sight to see, because the benchmark has been set pretty high.”

“He was an inspiration to a whole generation of kids growing up in this country (New Zealand), and across the world. And not just in rugby either . . . There’s a whole generation of kids still to be inspired by this guy. He was feared the world over, probably more so overseas than here in New Zealand … and the best part of this fella is that he did it all without the slightest hint of arrogance or ego.”
