Americans First Time Reacting To Jonah Lomu! HE'S A FREAK OF NATURE!

Full Unedited Reactions on PATREON - / cityboyshq

[@cameronchild3354]

He passed away in 2015 due to kidney disease. He played through it in his last few years of rugby. He's an absolute icon in new zealand

[@hayleydavison6373]

He wasn't Samoan, his parents were Tongan and Jonah was born in New Zealand.

Growing up in New Zealand when people b'balling be calling out Jordan! when Ballin. We be calling LOMU! When playing rugby...lol😂

Jonah Lomu... legend. 6'5" tall, weighed 130kgs and could run the 100 metres in 10.8 seconds

[@bushbabybotha9943]

118kg.

[@jacqueshughes3085]

Don't forget his 33 inch thighs.

[@Heathcliff1848]

Alot of players were faster than Jonah over 100 metres. But in rugby its the first 10-20 that matter and JL is right up there. Explosive power like that at 110kg is devastating!

[@josephkofisam7107]

I think that if he was in the NFL he would definitely be in the hall of fame even before he started any game FACT

[@waltercooper8493]

I met Jonah i took my younger brother who was a tetrapeligic in a wheelchair and we were at the movie cinema in Auckland in Manukau and Jonah walks in with his first wife Tania from RSA and he saw my brother and I decided to sit next to my brother and had a long chat with my brother who was a huge fan. It was a day my brother never forgot Jonah giving him the time and sitting next to him. Jonah was head hunted by the NFL Dallas Cowboys he told us but declined there offer because he Loved representing his country and being a All Black player.

[@beccakane2061]

The Man. The Legend. He was such a good player. The only time I’ve cried when a “celebrity” died. He is sorely missed in the game.

[@ramsey6681]

One of the most extraordinary things about Jonah (apart from the fact that he could change direction like a housefly or simply plough through like a rhino) was that, because of health problems that he'd had since childhood, even at his peak he was probably operating at maybe 85%! A true great - loved, appreciated and hugely missed across the globe.

[@williamho1976]

He is born in New Zealand of Tongan heritage. One of the greatest All Blacks ever. He can run the 100m in 10.80 seconds.

[@andy-wi5gc]

10.70 actually😊

[@arohawhite2990]

Sorely missed the great legend Jonah lomu Will never ever forget him ever.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Morgana0x]

Thank you for reacting to Jonah Lomu. Unfortunately he passed away while young. He had kidney problems almost all of his life but despite that he was one of the best players, if not the GOAT ever.

[@theooberholzer3734]

He IS the GOAT!

[@Bo5ch12]

I remember many moons ago going to watch my brother's high school 1st 15 team play against Lomu's team and thought...this Lomu dude is going to be a star one day...he definitely did! RIP to the GOAT of Rugby!

[@christoffjuanbarnard]

He was so strong and fast and not many could tackle him. I remember that in the 1995 Rugby World Cup South Africa put an 5K tackle bonus to any player that could bring him down. Respect to a real legend of the game. Rest in peace Lumo. KIA KAHA

[@marctheron2480]

The GOAT . Only a few People can be said to have changed the nature of a sport . Jonah is one such a person…. RIP

[@jaysmith6185]

Jona Lomu is Tongan🇹🇴 and he revolutionized rugby by being the first Hulk lookin Wing ever...usually Wing Positions are more like Wide Receiver in American football 🏈 small and fast but Jona was not only fast but he was a freak of nature!!! then came The Tuilagi Bros...But most of them Big Strong are Pacific islanders....BEAST!!!

[@theooberholzer3734]

That was his 10 best tries in world cup games. He created and scored many that surpassed the ones on this list. Look at the ones he scored as a school boy. Astonishing!! In fact, most of the tries in this video was scored when he was barely 20 years old. The Dallas cowboys tried to recruit him with a huge salary, but he was not lured by wealth. Would love to have seen him as a running back though!

[@stevetokeley6542]

An absolute legend in the world of rugby.Taken too soon.

[@nickchandra4890]

Lomu was the greatest Rugby player ever. Died too young. When the New York Patriots came calling he declined as he wanted to just play for New Zealand in a black jersey. He could have become the greatest American Football Player ever if he wanted to. Better than Jim Brown or O J Simpson he would have become the MVP and GOAT in the history of Amercan Football. He was the complete package and played without any protection on his body. RIP Legend.

[@rdp3holm]

I remember many years ago now standing next to him outside a ladies changing room holding his then wife's handbag and things while she was in there trying something on. All these people kept coming over to him asking for his autograph and wanting to chat with the legend. He was incredibly humble and gave his precious family time to accommodate them in a gentle and friendly manner. Amazing, awe inspiring player but a fabulous guy too. Thanks for reminding me about it.

[@katrogue9239]

RIP Legend ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@Asethet]

Seeing thee dates of the video clips in the corner and it hits hard that he started playing international and club rugby in 1994, was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in 1995 and on dialysis by 2003, kidney transplant in 2004, retired 2007, died 2015. It's likely that none of what we saw from him was 100% of what he could have been.

[@ViktorVaughan]

6ft4 265lbs and ran a 100m sprint at 10.7secs. A true freak of nature

[@ldewproductions7271]

He was only 40 when he died. Serious kidney trouble resulted in heart attack.

[@defnis3013]

RIP Jonah 😪❤️🌿

[@IronmanKiwi]

Taken so young 😢 He was 20 when burst onto the international scene at the 1995 World Cup. He was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease the same year.

[@Kiwiklassic]

RIP to our dear Jonah, you are sorely missed.

[@Waitomo64]

As a kiwi I adored the way he played... my Family was in the All Blacks and I went to school with two mates that became All Blacks... and yes I come from All Black country by my name as I've had to hide from enemies here..!!!

[@jagudaza]

I love how you guys made a great video and the at the final hurdle have upset every single Rugby fan on the globe by saying that he is Samoan… 100% you just have Dwayne ‘the rock’ Johnson in your mind watching him when you saw Jonah…

[@jagudaza]

.

[@aliverbirduponmychest3055]

A player of his size would usually play as a forward or midfield but at 6ft 5 and 19 stone he could run the 100m in under 11 seconds and played as a winger. He took a lot of criticism when his form dropped off dramatically, he had kidney disease and told nobody as he continued to train and play. Even with kidney disease nobody could stop him

[@thomasskywalker8893]

Worst part is, the guy at the end who got ran over. His name is Mike Cat! And he’s quite good, but Jonah is insanely good!

[@mervyngatter9975]

He was a legend and a genuinely amazing guy one of the all time best for ten years. Taken way to early…RIP ❤️

[@josephhetherington7318]

Matt Dawson playing for England at an after dinner do, and he told the story about being tackled by Jonah.

[@frankbudge2500]

6' 5" 260 lb and 100M 10.80. Nothing could stop him.

[@intothemindshaft]

I saw him play at Twickenham in his testimonial where he captained against Martin Johnson’s side. Also worked with media pitch side in 1999 world cup Twickenham matches and saw NZ hammer France. Happy days and he was amazing

[@troybrush8596]

if you look at Lomu in 95' vs 99' he looks like he aged 10 years . Lomu played 60-70% of his potential at most due to Health Issues . BoJackson Status , MJ status . Tiger Woods status

[@leebrailsford251]

Watch Sebastian Chebal. He managed to stop lomu more than once. He was frightening.

[@ben9l351]

yes, amazing sometimes..........2 years at best. He went through a lot of hurt before he started to make an impact

[@cameronchild3354]

Haha he actually got scouted by a couple of NFL teams funnily enough

[@suepoole8323]

Cried when this legend passed away....Rest in peace Jonah

[@jamescrawford9643]

JONAH wasn't a freak of nature. JONAH LOMU WAS AN ATHLETIC SUPERMAN! America has missed so much by alienating Rugby in the USA...Rugby is a common man's sport played Worldwide that deserves to be played in the USA! It's here Growling and Growing to be played and seen here! America has missed so much of this Ultimate Sport! RIP JONAH WERE WITH YOU!🏉🤜

[@richardnraikaraika5507]

Seeing Jonah in the flesh is amazing. His muscles were massive and he was gigantic and fast as. ❤

[@natashahaira2356]

His funeral is a must watch 🥺

[@tobiaswilliams9960]

Jonah made rugby international 6 foot 5 120kg 10.2secs 100m

[@fangadanz5910]

Boys you need to react to lord of the wings Jonah lomu way better video

[@sp8s1979]

Should have seen him tackle, he could hit like a truck and had the stopping power of a missile

[@honahwikeepa2115]

He was the Master of initiating the contact. Nobody put hits on Jonah. He always had his eyes open.

[@user-ii5cw9pf3v]

JOOST

[@yorkshirelad346]

Lomu don’t have a R9 he was before him

[@KekeHimona]

Jonah was the true GOAT!

[@user-ii5cw9pf3v]

YOU HAVE TO WATCH JOOST VAN DER WESTHUIZEN HIGHLIGHTS, HE BROUGHT JONAH BACK TO EARTH . THE BEST OF THE BEST

[@ben9l351]

but you need to put things into context...........was he a first up tackler or one of many and they slowed him down to be tackled

[@colleenreeves3098]

H3s Tongan kiwi yeah hes the man😅

[@eronicakacaka2289]

Sad to say.....that wasn't even Prime Lomu....

[@nonce_energy]

Jonah is Tongan

[@KekeHimona]

Jonah is New Zealand born with Tongan parents

[@nonce_energy]

ik@@KekeHimona

[@christopherhunt9078]

Well, he was Tongan, but by ethnicity and descent, but he was (I keep typing 'is') a New Zealander. He was fantastic. However, I always considered that as a player, he was a poor tackler. His usual tactic was to grab an opponent by the Jersey, especially the collar, and throw them over the touch line for the throw-in. Tackling is an important job for a winger. There were better rugby tacklers. Often last line of defence, except perhaps that of full-back (usually wearing the number 15 jersey.)

[@KekeHimona]

@@christopherhunt9078 He was an amazing player in his position of winger, in the sense that he performed his primary function of scoring tries. He may not have been an all-round player but he had good hands, accelerated fast and was alomost unstoppable on attack. To defend against him properly required several defenders, which opened up other gaps on the field.

[@richieelotoilaione858]

If you guys love this video you will definitely love " The best of Jonah Lomu part 1" RIP JONAH LOMU

He is Tonga bro

[@user-bh9qu9gp8k]

6.5 feet 250 pounds 100 m in 10.5 seconds figure that out

[@Roberto_79]

These are only the tries he scored at the World Cup… He scored better tries at club level that need to be seen also Jonah had only one pier … Rupeni Caucaunabuca. Check out his highlights

[@jspencer9952]

Jonah Lomu is a Maori New Zealander not a Samoan

[@SteadyPlaying]

He's not ethnically Maori, he was born in NZ from Tongan parents. Of course he's as kiwi as ya get though.

[@user-dk7mc1yh2e]

He was tongan

[@aiistyt]

No way are these his best tried
