No matter how many times you watch Jonah Lomu. He just looks DEADLY. Even he was ILL all his career. Rest in Peace Jonah Lomu. The Greatest.

Imagine if he was 100% during his rugby days. He would of been twice as good as he was 💪🏽
R.I.P Jonah Lomu

Lomu as a wing just wasn’t fair. RIP to an absolute beast 🫡

[ihakara]

New zealand baby my dad used to play whit him but he died ☠️😭😭😭 the best man ever

[niallturnbull]

I think people forget just how fast he was. His tries for baa baas highlighted that

[cazacaza]

We all know Jesus told St Peter to take a day off and went to meet this legend at the gates to get an autograph.

[jameslui]

The only single person feared by both forward and backs to tackle

[magnumpi]

The legends try against France was just as damaging. RIP Jonah❤🙏

[markblu]

Just another All Black Winner.

A special Athlete, Yes.

And as important, a great Human Being...

The Muhammad Ali of rugby greatest winger of all time, Rugbys first super star RIL Jonah when i was a kid i think all my school years i had the old jonah Lomu hair cut 😂 was my dads idea 🤦‍♂️

[Mr_runtstra]

He is another player that's impossible to 1v1 like cheslin kobe but in my opinion Jonah lomu is the goat

[ToBerNotToBe]

Dallaglios knee to Lomus head was the most random thing 😂. R.i.p to the legend Lomu.

[joedennehy]

Probably the most powerful back
There have been plenty of forwards bigger and stronger they just couldnt run as fast

[mohdnasir-wrlb]

This is what it looks like...
A Tank with an F1 engine.

[ThatWasFun]

Got to say seen Cullen do that a number of times too

[nadirmansour]

Repose en paix jonah le Maradona du rugby.
