"I shouldn't have winked at him!" Facing PRIME Jonah Lomu in the 1995 World Cup

[@davidandrews8963]

Jonah Lomu was the Maradona of rugby and he was taken too soon as well a huge loss to the world not just his family and rugby that 95 World Cup put him on a pedestal and no one has come close to him in the sport I'm so glad to be a sports fan and seen Jonah Lomu in full flight on the field of play awesome dude

I had two brief encounters with Jonah. Late at night at a Chinese takeaway in Newtown, Wellington...he was standing behind a pillar trying to be inconspicuous, it was one of those moments where on the instant recognition as I glanced at him and in my head I was breathlessly saying, Jesus, that's Jonah. He looked me in the eye and all I could muster was, Yo...Jonah. He smiled and replied Heya. I left him alone and basked in the fact he was a mere few feet away from me. The other time, I was a personal trainer at a very small gym and I came in early and as I went through the door, there in front of me was Ofisa Tonuu, Andrew Blowers and Jonah... I gasped at the sight of Jonah... I proceeded to have a workout while listening to them have a whale of a time with lots of laughter...there were the obligatory nods when we caught each other's eye but I never talked to them...it was just very cool

Ricebowl?

[@jldp24]

How big was he back then?

[@badnewz2180]

Mean brother that's cool

[@donnybrascocoliogne819]

Jonah was a Tongan at heart...But BEASTMODE when he wore the Pride of being a proud KIWI (New Zealander) when he put on the All Black Jersey. R.I.P Toko....There will never be another JONAH-HULKSTER-LOMU.

I met him after he quit … one of the most self effecting and nice people I’ve ever shared space with (he had a lot of it). He is a sad loss not just to rugby but to the rest of the world

[@michaelfontana4943]

He was never in his prime due to sickness, which was scary Imagine if he had been. RIP Jonah

[@joshhewitt105]

Jonah Loma, a true rugby legend, admired and respect by the international rugby community.

Jonah the legend 🙌

[@camwells9726]

Hard to believe he was only 19 years old in that game

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Memories can be beautiful but painful. Memories of the legend are poignant.

[@Rixx432]

[@jameslarios4687]

[@joedennehy386]

Lovely story about jk and Jonah. Not true though jk retired 1992 when Jonas was 16. They never played together

[@jldp24]

Wrong..jk retired 94..they played together against France.

[@merlin5420]

Soft up top?? 😂🤣 Pffftt he’s bowled over big men like Dallalio, Finegan, Ofahengaue, Venter, Richard Loe, Zinzan Brooke, Mike Brewer

[@emileschmidt154]

Who was it that won that world cup again? mmm 1995 world cup, I think it was a team he couldn't score a try against, in his career, ever.

[@RRSmurf]

From one South African to another, piss off.

[@KM-gt3kc]

exactly, no one cares who won the cup they care about the legend that was born in that world cup 💯 the legendary jonah lomu.

[@stevesmith1923]

Your evil corrupt country poisoned the All blacks.

[@wobblertv8083]

Typical South African ffs

[@MrAhuapai]

Its all the the tries Christian Cullen , Jeff Wilson and Tana Umanga scored against Springboks while 5 defenders were hanging onto Jonah, that I remember.
