@@dripsa Yeah, I kinda love that. I was living in NZ (back in the UK now) when Jonah was at his height. He was iconic in rugby, no-one could match him. A bit like Steve Redgrave in rowing. I see it as a great recognition of Jonah's superior abilities that no-one's even got close to him, even after 20 years.

@@maxcullen3427 who told you that?😂 come on mate we both love rugby but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The queen was just performing her duties as patron, same with Harry though you might say maybe Harry has genuine love for the game, but the royals have always preferred noble sports(polo, horse racing e.t.c) the queen herself was said to have been unintrested in many of the mainstream sports we know today and she was just performing her duties at games, prince Philip was a cricket fan( in terms of mainstream sport) but he himself was mainly into polo, he also played football from time to time, King charles is a Burnley fan as he said it himself, his sons prince Harry and William are Arsenal and Aston villa fans respectively infact Harry was said that many people would be suprised if they knew how many people in the royal family are Arsenal fans. So yeah at the time of the Queen's earliest reign many of the folks in the royal family didn't care much about the sports we care for today but right now many of them are football fans, sure you might say they do like rugby, at least some of them, but most are football fans.

That combination of size, speed and balance was ridiculous. The balance was key to his success though, he ran like his centre of gravity was about 2 feet lower than it was. The number of times he should have fallen but managed to keep going - I watch Nemani Nadolo week in week out now, he's a great player but he doesn't keep his feet like Lomu did. I'd love to see whether he'd have the same impact in the game today though, in 1995 players were still coming out of the amateur era and were small in comparison. Would he be as successful?
