    As a Welsh man who grew up with the game of rugby and who has been lucky enough to live and spend some time in New Zealand I’ve nothing but the upmost respect for the Māori people and their culture, every Māori person I met made me feel very welcome in their country. Beautiful people, beautiful country. RIP Jonah Lomu 11.

    What a brilliant reaction, lads. I'm English and in my 50s, so I watched in awe, as Jonah destroyed Test sides to pieces, in his pomp. To watch his funeral again, after a good few years, and still have to wipe tears away, and see you lads felt much the same, was emotional.

      To watch him in his hey days and to then see him not here anymore really was devastating. He was the one that made me want to watch Union. I am an All Black supporter, but it wasn’t until Jonah came onto the scene that I started watching it vigorously. I am in my 40’s now, first time I saw him I was in my teens. He will never be forgotten.

    Jonah Lomu was a phenomenon, a once-in-a-lifetime rugby player. When he burst onto the world scene at the Rugby World Cup in 1995, his stature, strength and sheer power had never been seen before. He started his playing career as a 'forward', a numbr 8 in the scrum, but later moved to the wing as he could run incredibly fast - something so bizarre given his size. Lomu was a true battering ram, able to get supporters from both sets of teams off their seats. I know I'll never see a player like him again in my life. That's how truly unique and special he was.

    04:20 The 2nd guy from the front was Joeli Vindiri (Fijian) built in a very similar mould as Jonah 1.98m (6ft 7in),120kg (270), a smaller vesion, 1.9m (6ft 4in), 100kg (225lbs). They both played for Counties Manukau, Auckland Blues and both were All Blacks.
    Only a handful of players, maybe fewer, could ever claim to have equal billing in a match featuring Jonah Lomu - but Joeli Vidiri was one of them.
    The Tongan kid who changed rugby forever, and the Fijian bloke who scored tries for fun: for a few years in the late 1990s, the Jonah and Joe show was the hottest ticket in New Zealand rugby. Stephen Donald (No. 10 -F irst Five Eighth or Fly Half and Rugby World Cup 2011 winning All Black Hero) used to sit on the grass bank at Pukekohe Stadium and watch that show every chance he got. So did Kieran Read (No. 8 & All Black Captain).
    If Jonah was the ever-present danger, Joeli was the unknown quantity. That’s not to say his extraordinary set of skills had somehow flown under the radar, it’s just that with Joeli you could never quite pick where he was going to be. One moment he would be hovering in back play, the next he was hitting the line at full pace. Not many people got a hand to him in those situations. He played as if he saw the future.
    He wanted his future to be with the All Blacks, but his devastating form for Counties and the Blues through the first two years of rugby’s professional era in 1996 and 1997 went unrewarded. He had already represented Fiji and therefore had to wait out a mandatory three-year eligibility stand-down. There is no doubt - at least there should not be - that were it not for IRB regulations, he would have been an All Blacks star in those two years. In 1998 he won Commonwealth Games gold in Kuala Lumpur with the New Zealand Sevens team, and that same year he made his All Blacks debut, replacing Jonah Lomu in a test against England, scoring a try.
    As it was, Vidiri played just twice for the All Blacks. Australia claimed victory in his final outing, doubt claimed victory over his future selection, kidney disease claimed victory over his playing career.
