I went to Westlake Boys High. In 1991 the Under 15 side came back from a tournament in Whakatane. The Senior master complained that the Wesley College Number 8 was massive and had destroyed Westlake's finest. That player was Jonah Lomu.Lomu was a wrecking ball on the field, But off the field he was a shy ,kind and humble South Auckland lad

I saw him at Changi Airport once, my flight was delayed, he was signing autographs for at least 3 hrs. Soo humble.

I got hooked to rugby as a young lad in 1995 .It was simply because of Jonah Lomu.He was a menace on the rugby field but a shy guy behind the cameras..Gone Too Soon #RIPChamp

Jonah Lomu was the Michael Jordan of rugby to me when I was growing up, when I played basketball I wanted to be like mike, when I played rugby I wanted to be like Lomu

The videos a bit misleading. His career wasn’t over in 1996… He only had to retire at the end of 2003, while still playing in the earlier part of the year. The kidneys are supreme at compensating, that’s why people don’t realise they had kidney disease unless it’s end stage where at least 90% of the kidney function is lost. Jonah wasn’t functioning as normal until he reached close to end-stage Renate disease.
