We the wider rugby world really became aware of Jonah at the '95 World Cup. There was (at the time) unbelievable hype surrounding this rising star, and Ireland were the first to face the All-Blacks in the group phase. The Irish captain came off the field, after a 43-19 drubbing in which the tank rolled through them twice for a try of his own, and looked into a waiting camera to declare "For all those people who had advice on how to handle Lomu, all I can say is - Go try it yourselves."

Your reactions, respect, and appreciation of music and other subjects that makes up much of my youth is wonderful to see. Your willingness to learn and understand our mad sports and music is a credit to you. Never change, and don't listen to the shitty comments. By the way, I don't know if you have been told, but every time you see Jonah Lomu in a black jersey that was COUNTRIES he was playing against, not just some wee club team, the best of the best from other world states.

Had the pleasure to watch Jonah Lomu play on his first visit to Murrayfield (Edinburgh) in 1999. At one point he ran 3/4s of the length of the pitch with one Scot holding onto each of his legs and one holding onto his waist and it didn't even break his stride. He was amazing on the pitch and a humble and polite gentleman off it.

My Dad knew his uncle well as they played in the same village rugby club team back in Tonga. He would tell me how his father, and his two uncles were all talented in the game. He would say how his uncle that he knew well was a very fast man on his feet, the other uncle was a big man and his father was a very strong player. He would say that Jonah was practically the byproduct of all these Lomu men before him. Size, strength and speed. Put all 3 together and you get this guy ✨🔥

[@jw3505]

Jonah’s 0-10m standing start time was 1.6 seconds. When Usain Bolt smashed the world record he did his first 10m in 1.85 seconds. So over that distance Jonah was 14% faster than the fastest person who has ever lived. Then add in his perfect balance, meaning that he could change direction at will. Even if he wasn’t built like a tank he’d be a serious problem for defenders. With all of those skills and attributes combined he was just unstoppable.

[@gpolonia]

Not to mention he did that on grass with rugby shoes, not running shoes.

[@rusenescualin3739]

in general, people really don't get it ... he was more or less 1sec slower than Bolt for the 100m , with an extra 60-80 pds .... and he was NEVER trained to be a sprinter :p

The Haka being done by so many, with such passion is something to behold. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Even if you don't understand what the Haka is, that video is worth watching. Jonah was an absolute powerhouse, I honestly don't know if you will ever find another like him. The idea of being "the next Lomu" is just ridiculous.

Lomu was 6' 5" and 265lb. Could run the 100m in 10.8s. He exploded onto the world scene at the rugby world cup in 1995 aged just 20. Unfortunately he suffered from kidney problems which affected his career and ultimately led to his death, not before he changed rugby forever though. A legend.

Inglis could have been a legend in Union. Imagine if Va'aiga Tuigamala had not gone to league. He was every bit the monster that Lomu was. I am in no way trying to say that Lomu wasn't special because he was incredible, but it is a total lie to say that there has never been anyone else like him in Rugby. There have been quite a lot of similar players in League over the years who never really tried in Union to see what they could do there and conversely Lomu would have been a legend had he played League because he was an elite level athlete with some magic intangible qualities to him.

Lomu was really a a 300 year old oak tree in human form RIP JL

[@morussell4033]

I'm a New Zealander 🇳🇿 now living in Australia 🇭🇲. It took me Two years to get the NFL down pat and I'm a big Green Bay Fan. Thank you for reacting to Jonah Lomu (G.O.A.T)...

[@docgonzales]

270 pounds who had breakaway speed. His stride was huge , so much that his 10 meter time ( off the mark into stride ) is apparently still the fastest recorded. I'd say he was 4.40-45 for the 40 dash, certainly no slower. What makes a bigger dent, Bo Jackson hitting at 230 pounds 4.12 dash or Jonah at 270 going 4.40?

[@heatherdrinkwater5395]

Happened across your channel love it guys R.I.P Jonah Lomu LEGEND in all Rugby fans eyes

[@quiet7632]

Lomu is a legend. I'm an Indian-American, so I am mostly about footbal and basketball, and I only saw rugby out of the corner of my eye when I was at pubs in Australia, until one day when Lomu came on the screen in the All Black's uniform and I was hooked. I stopped watching after he was gone, but he's someone that could bring people into the sport.

[@QanunAlShah]

The wing is traditionally for very quick players. Usually guys his size are very slow, but given his speed, he was able to pull it off in spectacular fashion. There have been a few big and quick players that have done well on the wing since, but none like this. He's a freak of nature!

[@bayghurl]

Great to see the enjoyment you guys are getting. You should check out the player Ritchie McCaw( NZ All Black) - different position to Lomu ( the other wing try scorers that you have seen). McCaw played blindside flanker - a position at the heart of the game, directs play and takes the ball forward. Its another dimension of the game & just as intense.

[@saturdaysun5724]

Thanks for posting this video lads, I’d forgotten what a powerhouse this man was, he passed away far too soon. Love your channel.

[@peterfairhall1784]

Jonah Lomu was the greatest player ever to lace on a boot. He was regarded as such here in Australia as well as the rest of the world.

[@garethpyper7903]

Irish guy that just discovered your channel. Binge watched about 15 in a row and really enjoying -especially the rugby videos. Lomu was a legend. You seem like cool guys I would like to have a beer with.

[@HighMaintenancePS]

I was lucky enough to see Him play live vs Tonga at Albany stadium NZ. At one point He broke off down the left wing and was ripping out clods of turf as He accelerated. I had and have never seen that before. Actually awesome. And He was just as impressive about Rd the field. Much loved, much missed.

[@socialparadigma]

Guys...i'm really enjoying you videos. I'm from Europe, Romania, been to school in the US, in Missoula MT. You guys are exactly what i really love about being there: the main quality i came to admire and respect about "good" Americans, or the most of decent normal people over there, is that you have an honest curiosity about stuff you don't know, and are so open about learning about it. Maybe I was lucky in meeting mostly this type of Americans, but anywho, I digress. Good luck with your videos and channel, and don't worry, when it comes to rugby, fans or players, it's about respect . This is the reason why so many people commented and recommended stuff (You should check some videos about referees in rugby, like Nigel Owens). It's a beautiful sport and culture and everybody's welcomed. Glad you guy guys are enjoying rugby, and it was about time the US joined the boat. There's a lot of talent over there, and it's growing. And as a note on Lomu...to make a parallel, he's Bo Jackson/Tom Brady legend level in Rugby

[@daveluty3074]

I say this with TOTAL respect for Jonah Lomu and his memory. Being born in the great rugby nation of New Zealand, whose children are playing rugby from the time they can hold a ball and walk, and are generally "well built" individuals, Jonah was a "freak" among men. Standing 6' 5" in his bare feet, weighing 260 pounds and able to run 100 metres in 10.8 seconds together with his kiwi passion (pre-wired at conception) for the game, and his over-riding desire to win made him a wonderous (and truly scary for his opponents\) sight to behold with ball in hand, playing a game he loved, and lived for (together with his deep seated religion and true Maori traditions and beliefs). In his far too short life, he inspired MANY children across the world to take up rugby, and many of those, no doubt, tried to become like him. Even during the years he spent living with a horrible illness, he found time to visit others in hospitals and hospices to offer them comfort and encouragement. He IS missed by the game of rugby, players and ex-players of the game, spectators and anyone who is aware of him, his talent, what he brought to the game and his freakish physique - yet such a gentle man. R.I.P. Jonah Lomu!!

[@bodybalanceU2]

Jonah was both in nz from tongan parents - his heritage was Tongan not Maori

[@thadtuiol1717]

I'll never forget when Jonah just ran right through Phil Vickery, an 18 stone prop, at Twickenham in 2002 like he was a balsa wood chair. No finer sight in full flight.

[@martindunstan8043]

Great review fellas 👍 Jonah was and still is the goat for me. A suggestion, could you review the rugby referee Nigel Owens please as I think you're not going to believe how much respect he gets from players on the pitch.take care guys✌️🇬🇧✌️🇺🇸🍻🍻

[@hashworld5492]

Lomu was not only the GOAT of rugby but if ALL SPORTS HISTORY,I knew he was ill for a while but when he died I cried my eyes out and have done a few times since,he’s my idol and although I was lucky enough to watch him many times on tv all I wanted to do was meet him,RIP Jonah 😞

[@brentdavis3102]

JONAH WAS A TRUE BEAST & A GOD OF RUGBY UNION. RIP J.L WE ALL LOVE YOU WARRIOR!❤

[@alienj272]

The legend, the greatness of a rugby player a young rugby player aspires to be. Also sorry on my late comments in regards to to learning the rules. I. A newbie to ur channel so catching up lol. Great vid. Legend Lomu

[@tazykat1]

What is even more impressive is that his international 15/side games started when he was 19 years old!!

[@Tomg861]

Jonah Lomu is generally considered by most as the greatest Rugby Union player of all time. A true icon to look up to, for any rugby fan anywhere in the world. RIP.

[@chrisduncan7257]

total legend, unstoppable force, but also one of the nicest guys in the world.

[@Maxmillion77]

Don't worry about people trying to be elitist when it comes to this stuff. You've been plenty respectful and the fact that you're even taking the time to check it out is good enough for me and it's interesting to see your take coming from having little knowledge on the subjects. Respect fellas

[@leemorralley7172]

I'm not a rugby player or fan but feel his time playing made other players become more professional in their training and upkeep in there body he transcended the sport and modernised it to what we see today.

[@davemrec]

God rest his soul. An absolute athlete. Never to be forgotten.

[@brentdavis3102]

Understand what you're watching here...This type of athlete is very rarely born into the world. Lucky to see one like him every second Halley's comet.

[@ScotsmanDougal]

There is only one word to describe Lomu - LEGEND!
