It's a tragedy that someone who was virtually unstoppable on the Rugby field has died so young.  There are a number of players in today's game with a similar physique but when he came to prominence in the 90s there literally was no-one else like him.

The obvious assumption is that it will be related to his kidney condition, but it was a complete shock to wake up to this news, particularly having seen him so recently on TV during the World Cup.

Saw the footage again today of the Haka he took part in as part of the promo campaign, with the headline of Jonah Lomu's final Haka, and I found it tough to watch without feeling emotional.

Thoughts go out to his wife and young family.
