Jonah Lomu RIP

Post by Kevin Farnell »

I can't believe that I've just read this on the BBC news website.
The New Zealand legend of Rugby Union, Jonah Lomu has died a the very young age of 40.
He was always such a joy to watch. A 'man mountain' continuing to run with the ball, whilst carrying almost half of the opposing team who were trying to bring him down.
I'm aware that he had some medical conditions, but it's still a great shock to read of the untimely death of one of the worlds great sportsmen.

My thoughts and prayers to his family, friends, colleagues and fans worldwide.

Kevin

Just this minute read it on the BBC news website, and couldn't quite believe it. Maybe the world's best known New Zealander. Very sad indeed.
