Jonah Lomu
The late All Blacks rugby legend in his own words.
The New Zealander Jonah Lomu was the first superstar of international rugby. A virtually unstoppable combination of strength and speed, he burst on the scene in 1995 with a four-try demolition of England at the Rugby World Cup. But although he seemed invincible, Lomu was already sick with the kidney disease that led to his early death at the age of 40. The 大象传媒's Rob Bonnet spoke to Lomu in 2004.
