Never forget him tramping over the English men as he pounded his way to another try.

[5 Sams]

Wow Cant believe that. He seemed immortal at one stage.

[omaghjoe]

That's awful news RIP

[StGallsGAA]

Terrible.  He looked quit failed the last few times I saw him on TV and thought at the time he was only at an age when most other men are starting to fill out!

power pace skill one of the best ever sporting athletes I have seen. Just 40 RIP.

[moysider]

A legend. Only 40 and ill for so many of those years. RIP.

[J70]

That is shocking about Lomu.

[heganboy]

Without any doubt, the best i have ever seen. It was an absolute joy to watch that man play rugby. He was that good and i mean really that good playing at 80%, can you even imagine?
The Jordan of rugby, transcended the sport, brought it to the world.

[gallsman]

The man utterly transformed the sport. As it turned professional, he was the global, marketable superstar it needed and boy could he play. I remember watching the '95 World Cup at the age of 8 and being upset that it was taking up so much time on ITV that Home and Away was getting moved around but then I saw some of his performances and was hooked. That was the first time I really "got" rugby. It was suddenly lightning fast and heart-stoppingly exciting. A legend who will be missed.

RIP Jonah.

RIP Jonah.

[bennydorano]

Sad news. RIP.

Can still see the look of terror on some England faces in 1995. Poor oul Tony Underwood will be a back in limelight today too.

[Farrandeelin]

RIP Jonah Lomu. Hard to believe isn't it.

[maddog]

Had the pleasure of seeing him play live on a couple of occasions. Unreal power and pace. The sight of 3 or 4 men unble to bring him down was something else.
Rest in peace.

[deiseach]

I recall him being the first in line to congratulate the French after they shocked New Zealand in the 1999 World Cup. A class act. RIP.
