Jonah Lomu: New Zealand rugby union great dies aged 40 - BBC Sport

Somewhere on YouTube I presume there must be his tries from the 1995 World Cup, I remember sitting in disbelief as he scattered the England team like ninepins. He was an astonishing player, one of a kind, I'm sorry that he lost his health and died at such an age.

Jonah Lomu, RIP

That really has shocked me ! Jonah Lomu was a giant of a man. I shall always remember how he literally bulldozed players out of his way so he could reach the try line ! Jonah you were an inspiration to so many people. My thoughts are with Jonah's family, friends and fellow rugby players from around the world. R.I.P. Jonah.

I think Jonah was around 20 years old in 1995. This video shows the speed, agility and sheer strength of this amazing 'All Blacks' (New Zealand) Rugby Union player ! All 6' 4"of him, and over 18 stone of sheer muscle power !
