Jonah was my childhood hero and I got to meet him once. He was humble and I wish I still had that photo. I remember every game he played I wanted to watch because I knew as soon as he got the ball he would do something special. I could write forever about Jonah. Rip king
Hes the man god bless, Jonah lomu will never be forgotten, 😂❤ from one kiwi
I remember opponents being interviewed saying tackling Jonah was like hitting a brick wall at top speed. He had a way of making the biggest best rugby players in the world look like college players. RIP Jonah, always missed & loved in NZ.
Bok Supporter here... There has been none like him. Jonah is the goat.
This amazing fella at 6’6 and 120kg could run the 100m in 10.70 seconds..imagine having that tanking towards you.
Nah i choose life

Slept eternal: 18th April, 2015, Auckland.
Seen him play lots in wellington at the stadium bro back when he played for my Hurricanes and Lions.
Our regional colours are Black and yellow. and he was just unstoppable. Yet, off the field, he was a giant bear bro. Believe that or not. Such was his humility and ferocity. He tamed both bro. Now he's the GOAT in rugby. Even to this day in 2022.
NZL🇳🇿🤜🤛🇹🇴TONGA
Those guys who tried to stop him by engaging there entire body....
They saw the Lomu train coming, knowing what's gonna happened and still went at him.
Respect to those balls of steel guys
This guy was a gentleman off the field. A real humble, gentle giant of a man and the GOAT IMO. He mostly played at 80% fitness levels due to kidney disease and he destroyed defences and elite athletes with his speed, balance, co-ordination and a really excellent reading of the game. He died of a heart attack due to his kidney problems in 2015. The ultimate athlete. 6 foot 5, 262 Ibs and ran 100 metres in 10.8 seconds. Imagine that hulk of a man running at you!! Incredible competitor; he helped increase the profile of the game of rugby union, which ultimately lead to the professional era of rugby. RIP big guy!!
Had a tough childhood. Stabbed 3 times. Reputably a true gentleman off the pitch and warrior on. Many of the clips are after the onset of his kidney problems. I always assumed his later kidney problems were caused by long term weakness caused by infections after the stabbings . He was offered a major NFL contract and turned down the money for love of rugby and the fast paced creative flexible play. Remember there are no downs in Rugby. The stamina needed is off the charts. Anybody who has seen a team play in rain know they come off the pitch looking like scene from platoon. There is no game compares for grit commitment or team awareness. It's the creative and fast paced passing that most separates rugby from NFL
One of the things with Jonah was, he created massive holes in defences by drawing players. When it takes 3-4 guys to bring him down, suddenly there's half a defence missing for the rest of the team to run through.
Still get goosebumps watching him now, lovely man, brilliant sportsman
I met the man when he played for cardiff the man was humble an absolute athlete RIP JONAH
He genuinely was = one in a billion
There will never be another JONAH……yes he was GOD MODE and CHEAT all in one….and the only RUGBY PLAYER to have a PlayStation game GAME named after him and if you managed to clock the GAMe you unlock a TEAM with 15 JONAHS lol……..
Truly amazing and missed by all of us
🔥💯🔥💯
Great video brother….keep up the awesome work
Big ups!! 💯🔥💯🔥
A great reaction to a God among men. Not only was he one of the greatest players of all time, but he helped charities & local communities every chance he got. Turned down playing in the NFL because he wanted to stay at home & help others. His funeral Haka was a moment that had men around the world crying like babies & I highly recommend watching it. Just remember. NEVER pause during a Haka. wait until the end. Think it something akin to a national anthem (but with so much more history & meaning).
But I will never say RIP to the Great Lord of the wings. Not because I mean him any disrespect. But because Gods NEVER DIE!
he was a monster in the game. but was a gentleman. the best man EVER to play the game. no one stood a chance against the beast. rip jonah.
Dallas Cowboys tried signing him as their running back in the 90s, but the lure of wearing the All Blacks jersey & the money he was on kept him playing rugby. The GOAT
The Master of initiating the contact. Watch him closely. Eyes open during the entire performance. GOAT.
Loved Jonah, sadly missed, two young boys and a lovely wife. 5 million Kiwis experienced a dark day. His legacy lives on. Love to you Bro.
Oh the NFL offered him a contract but he said he wanted to play Rugby and I for one is grateful he did, my favourite player of all time, RIP Big Man, Jonah Lomu forever ❤️❤️
Half the cornerbacks in the NFL could have stopped prime era Lomu. As long as they all tackled him at the same time.
He was already quite ill, which maybe played a part in turning down nfl
Great reaction. Love the appreciation of the running form,balance etc. That kind of fluency is so satisfying to watch.
I appreciate a good athlete and can spot one when I see one. Thank you for the love!
I remember the Dallas Cowboys offered him 10 million just to go trial for them. He turned it down
This was a great reaction video, we all loved Jonah, all around great guy. I was lucky enough to meet him in 2015 just before he died, really polite, friendly giant man.
The Dallas Cowboys did offer him a ridiculous amount of money to sign for them but he said no due to his Loyalty to the All Black's (New Zealand)
Not only his loyalty to the All Blacks. But also to just chill out with his family & do charity work. A God among men
I've gone down the Americans appreciating Jonah Lomu rabbit hole, and this is by far the best. Good to see genuine understanding of what Lomu could've bought to the NFL, that would've been something.
A Gentle Giant 😪🙏🏼✝️🇳🇿❤️💯%...
I loved watching this legend play, growing up! He was unstoppable and loved by so many. RIP big guy ❤ Loving the content! Earnt a new sub from New Zealand 🇳🇿✌️
I am a true South African supporter , but I will always say when a legend or born for another nation, and he was a legend , the sad thing is he never played 100% he had a illness his entire life
he was a beast bro 6 ft 5 -6ft 6 120 plus kgs of solid muscle who can run 100m in 10.7 seconds , due to his sickness he only played 80% of his potential in most international games i meet him at a prize giving event my school won the championship for i guess middle school is the term there , 26 yrs ago bro and i was the half back and i only came up to his waist in height , he was offerd many contracts to go play over in america but turned it down for rugby and before money came along for players of the sport ,he made money from sponsers heineken beer and adidas he did well for himself in those times in the 90s and early 2000s a low key millionare in the eyes of kiwis back then he was classed as the richest sportsman,in nz not like today tho bro, lomu opened a path of polyneisan people to become something tho bro u have 18 yr olds at 6 ft 5 140 kgs that are fast and making it big in the other code of rugby called rugby leauge he was a legand died so young
I've watched a lot of reaction videos. This seems to be the one of the more thoughtful and articulate of the kind.
Thanks for the memories of the great player.
I always watches him everytime he crossed over to Australia to play against my great team The Wallabies.
He is the pain in the butt for our team.
Very sad to see him passed away too soon.
GOAT!!
Jonah certainly had a wicked right arm, as you said ! A very emotional video to watch is the funeral of Jonah.
He was amazing. Not only tall built and fast but humble
That last one where he steps on that Pom is in NZ Folklaw. It's in the constitution lol. You were right when you said on in a million.
@Flexx2nicE A clean breath of fresh air brother 💪🏾❤. Total respect for this best RUclips clip I've seen someone as yourself, put up of Jonah Lomu. ✊🏿❤. Yes! A 1 in a million, He was.
Respect from Aotearoa New Zealand brother.
All Praises ☝🏿❤
Lomu is the goat of rugby. 6"6 and running a 10s. What a man. His 11 jersey is renowned for knocking people out.
Great reaction man. Yeah Jonah was a freak and a good guy too. You hit the nail on the head too, he would have tore up virtually any sport he would have put his mind too
In a rugby tackle there is a term called cheek to cheek. That's your face cheek against their butt cheek. Since you can't go for the head, and since the defender usually does not have a huge amount of momentum going into the tackle; the best way to take someone down is by taking them low and knocking off their centre of gravity. If you got Jonah lomu coming at you.... low is the only option.
Amazing was is that he was never over 80% due to his liver disease. Imagine the beast he would be at 100%
I'm sure Jonah ran the 100 at 10.9, how fast would he of been if he trained from a young age for the track? We'll never know, but l believe he would of cracked 10. He would of been good at longer distances as well and as the presenters said he had gears. Good video mate & I liked how you let it run & commented at the appropriate time, well done 👍
Jonah, was special. Could not believe what I was seeing the first time he played against South Africa.
This man in in his prime was a problem, a freight train steam rolling anyone and anything in his path, a deadly combination of speed and power. Rest in power bigJ. Definitely left your mark in the rugby world.
He was never really in his prime though. He was sick for most of his career. He was at best running on 70%-80%
Was huge, had insane speed, great ball handling, and could step as well as anyone.
Thank you for paying a tribute to the greatest winger the All Blacks and even the world had seen. I never get tired of watching him run over, through and around the opposition. RIP JL #11
And he did all that whilst suffering most of his adult life with a major kidney illness.
One of the greatest players I ever saw
FELT THIS ONE..
Reaction Request - Jonah Lomu Tribute Haka pls
Would still be considered a physical freak today almost 30 years after he played, and he also played most of his career with severe kidney disease
The way his power and pace just destroyed opposing teams reminds me of one American Football player - Bo Jackson. I think Jonah would have done some serious damage as a running back in the NFL.
Not only was Jonah an outstanding player in a warrior sport! He also had a certain charisma!
Chur Bro...the utmost respect, afforded Jonah on the field, transferred off the field...most humble guy you could meet
on your path...watch " Jonah pranks an Irish Pub "..Post rugby with illness but committed to fulfilling his role as
Rugby Ambassador....lighter side of the bro..
Great vid……King Jonah 🐐……..RIP Legend
In 1995 The NFL Dallas Cowboys offered him $20m and he said no
RIP Jonah. One of the best if not the best to ever do it. Fun fact he never scored a try against South Africa. Even though he played them twice a year he never scored a try against them. Amazing effort from the South Africans to have never allowed him to score against them.
He was playing with kidney disease at ,70% . A giant was among us.
LEGEND right there. JONAH LOMU the GOAT!!!
Edit: the NFL tried to sign jonah into the nfl, not sure which team it was tho. But for his love of rugby he declined that shit!!!!!
It was Dallas Cowboys……and I think Denver Broncos….had they secured him…they would’ve won a whole lot of SUPERBOWLS!! No joke!!
Nice one buddy and most of those highlights are against international teams and world cup games bloody legend.
To me there’s never been another athlete like him, physically dominant and strong but so damn athletic, like a blend of Kamara and Derrick Henry
Jona played our school in the 90s. We thought we were good. He was incredible. Westley collage against us Church College. When we saw him in the ALL BLACKS, none of us were surprised. Our hero.
In rugby we call that the goose step, lomu step and then hits the gas. He was the 🐐
A little fact - Lomu never ever played at 100% throughout his whole career because of his cruel disease.
Thanks for doing this vid, bro. Awesome reaction.
Jonah Lomu was like, if you took the pace of an elite WR, the moves and elusivity of an elite KR, the full explosivity and moveset of an elite power HB (especially full on Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch type runners), the hitmaking ability of an elite LB, and put it all in the body size and shape of an elite edge rusher.
Perfectly said!
I love my rugby he is and was the greatest rugby player in history after watching the last ten minutes of highlights no 1 in world could say anything other I watched him in South Africa in 1995 rugby World Cup he was just 20 years old and run rings round world class players then
A gentle giant, G.O.A.T. r.i.p. JONAH x.
Lomu was a weapon of MASS destruction! Guy this big this fast you better off just getting out of his way. Trying to take this guy down was bad for your health. Rest in peace legend🙏
Bro - am from Fiji 🇫🇯 big up this
Awesome well researched reaction. Jonah career was a highlight reel
Never will there be another Jonah Lomu but there will be others. Rugby is a game of courage. Best game in the World. I hope Americans adopt it.
THE Rugby Rockstar. RIP J.
I looked up to him as a kid watching him play you knew you were going to see greatness
With all the poly boys playing NFL it may be only a matter of time before a Jonah Lomu-like athlete ends up in the NFL. We talking coast to coast touchdowns.
I grew up in NZ Jonah was the best man off the field
R. I. P JONAH TALI LOMU probably the best unstoppable steam train rugby player ever
Power and speed. Wingers are usually built for speed like wide receivers, so they don’t usually have the size. it’ll be like asking a corner back to stop him. Jonah is 6 ft 5, 260 pounds and runs 100 metres at 10.8 seconds. No corner back is gonna stop the Jonah express train
Babe Ruth, Tom Brady, Pele. JONAH!!!!!!!!!!
Freak of nature .
Everybody loved him🤍🇬🇧
All blacks = the most winning sports team in history....any sport.
Lomu was 6ft 5", 120kg and ran the 100m in 10.8 seconds. Plus he was agile and could hit like a train. A total gentleman off the field as well.
I got to see him play for Auckland vs Queensland in a pre-season game at Ballymore in the late 90's. Watching them warm up, Jonah looked enormous on the wing, training with the backs. Then he went over and stood beside the forwards and he was taller than almost all of them too.... That night he was up against Ben Tune - a very good, 100kg test winger for Australia. Tune was just a speed bump all night long. Jonah terrorised him....not for the first or last time.
People say he was the first rugby global superstar...but has there ever really been another? Maybe Dan Carter or Richie McCaw rank higher in history. But before Jonah, wingers were always small, zippy players...he changed the game. Coming up against someone that big, that agile, that fast, you have to change or you are going to lose by 50.
NFL teams were lining up for this guy early in his career, but every NZ kid wants to be an All Black...probably why they have been so good for so long.
By the way, when you said "I don't know what team that guy played for, but that guy had wheels:....that was actually Jonah, turning around and catching England winger Tony Underwood in about 10m at the World cup. All the talk before the game was that Underwood was supposed to be too fast for Lomu...nope!
Missed, but never forgotten.
We called it the Jomu jump, that turned into the Howlie pivot, that kinda morphed into a whole bunch of other freaky moves. The man is a legend, and an inspiration to everyone who ever turned up to a Rugby training.
A great player in a great team.
He reminds me of Greg Inglis from Rugby League.
Hey mate great vids also, First of all Rest In Peace JL11. He had heart problems and could only use about 75-80%. If would of been unstoppable in everything and anything if he could of operated at 100%
11.2 sec 100m sprint. great video
Can you imagine the space he would create IF or WHEN he gets tackled there's like 2 guys on his back, another two on either side of his shoulders, one on his hip, one each on both thighs all while dragging 2 more around his ankles & one last guy holding on to his other two team mates to try & drag him down.
That's damn near the whole team out of line.. so that's a quick play out to the middle or edge & it's a try 85% of the time (did the math).
For the All Blacks 95% of the time ;)
Never scored against the Springboks. But extremely well liked and respected here. Great player. I may be wrong but I think he married a South African woman.
The Bo Jackson of Rugby. Ran at 10 flat 100
Thanx everyone. We loved our Jonah. R.I.P
Potencia velocidad agilidad fuerza explosividad lo tenía todo por eso es el mejor de la historia
The legs tackle ze legs lol
Thanks!
JONAH WOULDVE CRUSHED ALL IN THE NFL
I believe it!
You really should watch the movie documentary “Pacific Warriors” and you will see just where all these 1:1,000,000 come from. Also look at fastest rugby players top two are in 7’s USA
You could only slow him down but you couldn't stop him. We did cancel him out in the 95 final in South Africa
There is a guy in the USA currently built like that, he is LebronJames but he plays Basketball ball
honestly think this man could have been in the world elite in most athletics
Jonah changed rugby. Backline players had to become stronger and heavier, front line players had to become faster, somewhat leaner.
Michael Jordan, Carl Lewis, Tiger Woods. JONAH!!!!!!!!!!!
All opposition is International standard
Please React to Jonah Lomu vs South African rugby team 1995 world cup.... It was said that nobody could stop Jonah in the build up to the world cup but they did not take into consideration how my county's team would demolish this great player lmao.
Saffas always have to brag, got no respect.
Like a bowling ball through skittles.
Since rugby union went professional players have become enormous,Lomu was the first huge man with real pace and was playing against normal sized human,not the monsters who play the game today.
Bro he’s still one of the biggest wingers ever name one winger taller and bigger than him? He would still steam roll people in todays generation he was bigger and faster than Julian Savea and look what Julian Savea was doing to your so called big monsters at the 2015 World Cup don’t ever try knocking down the great Lomu!!!!
I commented on a video about reacting to JL…so ignore as I just saw this reaction now
Considered rugbys GOAT. Turned down a NFL contract with the Cowboys.
