Jonah Lomu the former New Zealand rugby union player has died aged just 40.

His monstering of England in the 1995 World Cup was amazing.

RIP

Truly shocked to read that. I knew he wasn't well because of kidney disease, but... wow. Bless him. A nice bloke, by all accounts.

He had only just returned home from England (working on the Heineken cup) on Tuesday. A gentle giant off the field and monster on it. Played 73 tests and scored 43 tries.
