Jonah We Miss You April 12 2016, 13 Comments

Watching Jonah at the Rugby World Cup in 95 was witnessing a once in a lifetime player emerge. He had an impact on me like nothing before and nothing since and shook up the sport. It’s astonishing to think he achieved this whilst battling with an illness and that at full fitness he probably would have been even more devastating.
I’ve been a huge fan ever since and always will be. A great role model with humility and class and an inspiration.
Thank you for the memories Johah.

I had never watched a Rugby match I am English.
I was given the opportunity to go to Murray field in Scotland and saw a man who gave me a passion to support the All Blacks for life.

I saw Jonah for the first time he was a super hero.

I will never forget seeing this force of talent.

Jonah,

You are so missed , never forgotton THE BEST !!

We came to visit your resting place , and paid our Respects to You When Visiting Your Home .

As a distant Allblack supporter from UK . On the 2017 Lions Tour It was something Myself and my Husband wanted to do ..

Sleep well My Hero

Gone too soon , God needed you more

Watched the anger within for the first time. Had a profound effect on me. It wasn’t his playing that made me love him, it was his humility. Why do we always lose the good ones? Deep deep respect to you up there Jonah and I can only hope to be half the man you were and I’m not talking about his rugby

He was a true legend in the game of rugby .
A one off .
And a gentlemen as well .

If only you were Irish !

Thanks for smashing England with “that try” it turned me into a different player after watching that , even as a ginger kid tried shaving 11 into my eyebrow! Haha

True legend of my generation

We do not forget u miss u jonah.

Jonah, you are an absolute legend!

You may be gone, but your name will live on in the folklore of world rugby as one of the best ever to cross the white line and play the game.

It was an honour to watch you play.

Rest in Peace.

Ciao Campione. Ogni volta che vedo le tue immagini mi viene voglia di iniziare a correre e non fermarmi più. Mi fa piacere immaginarti correre anche dove sei ora. Un abbraccio grande da Roma.

Jonah Lomu was not only the greatest rugby player but he was also a role model to kids of all ages.

Hi, I’m Marisa Balbi , I live in Argentina , and I knew the story of her husband. We admire the " All Blacks " , and her husband was an idol . Currently transit a disease that causes dialise and I’ll for a transplant , for this reason I became interested in the case of Jhonas . God bless your family , you are lovely !

You were a truly physically inspirational figure in World Rugby! You were a remarkable player and your presence in any match made everyone watching get excited by what you are capable of. Some called you a freak of nature, due to your size, strength and speed! You were gifted and probably the biggest name in rugby. I remember playing your rugby game on PlayStation. To think that your life was ended so early is a tragic thought. We are truly thankful for all the wonderful memories you left us. Gone too early and plagued by medical problems. God will look over his miracle and God of Rugby. Rest in Peace friendly giant….
