Jonah Lomu Quotes
When I was playing I felt tired all the time. My recovery period was a lot longer than the other players. They'd be ok after an hour - I'd have to stay in bed till the next session.

About
Jonah Tali Lomu was born in Greenlane, Central Auckland, New Zealand. He was a New Zealander rugby union player. He became the youngest ever All Black when he played his first international in 1994 at the age of 19 years and 45 days. Playing on the wing he finished his international career with 63 caps and 37 tries. He was widely acknowledged as the top player at the 1995 World Cup in South Africa even though New Zealand lost the final to the host South Africa. He was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame on 9 October 2007, and the IRB Hall of Fame on 24 October 2011. He was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, a serious kidney disorder in 1995, and the disease had a significant impact on his playing career and wider life. He died unexpectedly on 18 November 2015 after suffering a heart attack associated with his kidney condition.
