Pair of legends, now tackling each other on the big pitch in the sky. RIP

RUGBY: 80 MINUTES OPPONENTS, BROTHERS FOR LIFE

[@sonnybill8271]

Brendan Power damn it 😢 your comment made me cry like a bitch

[@Tonyclifton-q4f]

worked as a mechanic in Glen Waverley Melbourne ,a Toyota Camry had stopped on the road and a few ladies were struggling to work out how to put the spare on ,i helped out as you do and a man was in the backseat but an ill man who was on a few hours off from hospital where he was going through dialysis treatment ,they needed directions back to Cabrini if i recall rightly,i just looked at Jonah and he just looked at me as they drove away ,RIP LEGEND

[@paulrooy371]

Watching this now leaves me with a lump in the throat. We were priviledged to have seen both of them play.... the most complete wing and the most complete scrum half. Thank you for all the joy you gave us.... Never forgotten.... R.I.P

[@chrishurley3568]

Looks like Jonah needed a World Class number 9 and a good friend in Heaven today. RIP to two beautiful humans may they never feel pain again

[@MorbidAngelNZ]

R.I.P Joost, one of rugby's finest scrum halves in history. Thanks for the great memories you will be sadly missed 😢

[@brentbecroft2890]

Very moving. If you didn’t shed a tear after watching that, you’re not human. RIP to two of the games greats.

[@aitulegendvt8494]

This brought a tear to my eye. May they both RIP and thank you for entertaining us for many years.

[@izzycraig7073]

WOW that was just awesome, two legends talking about that classic RWC final in 1995. They had so much respect for each other....R.I.P Jonah Lomu. You will be missed.

[@tonygoodwin2834]

The best winger and the best halfback I've ever seen in my 50 years.....just sensational - very moving video. Thanks for this.

[@kdog1981cop]

Ah man, this is painful to watch. Two of my rugby heroes, both now gone. Met Joost after the Ireland game in 2000 in the Temple Bar district. He stood and chatted with a drunk star struck 19 year old for at least 20 minutes. Will never forget that. Rest well you two greats of the game.

[@IAMTHELORE69]

In floods of tears here, 2 of the greatest Gentlemen this planet has seen. Love rugby love the respect and these 2 great warriors are a credit to mankind.

[@nadhussain6503]

Two great legends of the game, so much respect for each other. Jonah was the true superstar of rugby, amazing athlete not just as a rugby player but as an athlete he was amazing. 6"5 260lbs of pure muscle, speed power grace agility he had it all. Joost probably the greatest no9 in rugby history, he won the World Cup by stopping Jonah had he not newzealand would've won the World Cup with try

[@711honved]

Two of the brightest stars in world rugby! Never had I seen a winger of Lomu's pace & physical stature & never had I seen a scrum half of Van Der Westhuizen's size & power. Sport can be so rewarding & life so fucking cruel! Keep on fighting Joost & RIP Jonah.

[@711honved]

Very sadly Joost has left us to join his old pal Jonah. Free from that insidious disease at last...A true rugby legend! RIP.

[@starrider529]

RIP both you two, you were the greatest, both in rugby, but also true gentlemen. You will always be remembered, by both our countries. NZ and SA rules!

[@Badlycracked]

Thank you Joost, thank you for everything you have done for our Nation, thank you for the laughter in our living rooms, thank you for the proud moments you gave us, the feeling of a united South Africa... Now these tears are not of joy, but of sorrow.. God Bless the both of you!

[@mukundutm]

It was such a symbolic& wonderful gesture on the part Jonah Lomu to visit the stricken,debilitating Joost Van Der Westhuizen in Joburg.I salute& take off my hat 4 Jonah Lomu `s amazing gesture.Jonah is certainly welcome to the League of humanity!.RIP JONAH LOMU,The NZ Giant Winger that transformed amateurish rugby ushered it into professionalism with his outstanding performances @ the 1995 Rugby Worldcup.

[@laidsgpr63]

How can anyone watch this and not shed a tear !! Two great guys !! Yes❤❤

[@FrancoisCalldo-ho7qf]

As a springbok supporter, Jonah were bigger than life.thank you Jonah,even you were suffering, You've made Joost day.both will be in our hearts always.legends

[@ajbardawil9546]

As a man of Joost's stature I can only look up to such a man. But as an All Black supporter I feel for Lomu, this is an amazing video. When Lomu said "I love you" I shed tears. Beautiful statement to the best game on earth. Memories of the World Cup Semi Final 2015 string to mind, one of the best games I've ever seen.

[@theroogie]

I'm a Springbok supporter and I have no problem with losing that 2015 semi final. That was easily one of the greatest games of rugby ever played and there has to be a loser at the end of the game. Could have gone either way and there is no better team to lose to.

[@youtubearchive3668]

Not really, ABs have never won the cup legit

[@PapaBaush]

Richie Johnson beautiful words brother ✌🏾

[@MrKatonivere]

You 2 have given the world of rugby what their ever want to watch, strong clean Rugby R.I.P Lomu be Strong Joost Van Der Westhuizen.... GOD BLESS

[@reneeyoung4211]

Jonah Lomu and Joost van der Westhuizen. Privileged to have seen both play in their prime, two legends I will never forget. RIP both.

[@thecontentengineer-xyz]

I watched the 1995 World Cup final. One of the most important days in South African history. RIP Jonah & Joost. We will always remember you.

[@caracas787]

2 of the all time greats RIP

[@brynscourfield398]

Always brings a tear watching this. Two legends of the game an£ for me my favourite scrum half/ no 9 loved his style. And that comes from a Welshman . 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@PhatH74]

This needs to go viral, two of rugby's greats, so humbling!!! RIP JL, JW our Prayers are with you!!!

[@Chevfan66]

Two great players two great guys. New Zealand vs South Africa great games to watch .Fair and hard

[@emmarentiasolomons3575]

RIP Jooste and Jonah

[@jasonkehoe6633]

My word... how powerful is this... two of the giants of the game in recent times but still such humble people. I may not have been one of the lucky few to have known them personally but these guys always make me cry with their humility and preparedness to help others, even at the worst of times. It also makes me appreciate what the MacMillan staff and all of the staff at Darlington Memorial Hospital in the UK did for my Mum; and they continue to do it every day... thank you to all carers out there...paid or otherwise. You are loved.

[@jayf4005]

R.I.P Legend.. On and off the field.. What a great person.. And thoughts with Joost too

[@СлаваРоссия-у7ж]

This video and documentary as a whole always brings tears to my eyes! Jonah Lomu and Joost van der Westhuizen left us too soon:-(

[@louisdaubrey8330]

What a privilege to watch this. Jonah Lomu, respect! A true gentleman, and legend of the game. RIP, a great loss to world rugby. Joost, keep fighting bru, you too have done so much to bring awareness of the disease. Don't give up.

[@elijahleesoobramoney6215]

[@Neo_Rain146]

Two Rugby legends no longer with us. We only truly appreciate them when they gone. RIP guys

[@Keeda96]

This hurts watching this...it really does. Guess God really needed a winger. Well don't worry, cause now he has the best winger of them all ❤

[@bishopbrink7149]

Miss them both dearly! I will NEVER EVER forget them!!!

So poignant. I met Jonah a few weeks before he died. Such a gentle giant... spoke so well to kids at my school about his life. And Joost... best 9 in the world at his peak. RIP, the both of them.

One of the most poignant videos that I have ever seen on KZbin. The sight of two sporting champions, now plagued by serious health issues, is immensely saddening. Thank you for sharing this video that showcases sportsmanship & compassion.

Saw this documentary in a South African Airways flight from Johannesburg to São Paulo. As I'm not a regular rugby fan, I didn't know about his story.

[@KerryGallagher-cj9gq]

Wow, just discovered this. Beautiful and sad in equal measure. This is about the respect and friendship that goes beyond simply winning or losing a rugby game.
