Jonah Lomu
« on: December 05, 2015, 05:06:34 PM »
Jonah Tali Lomu, MNZM was a New Zealand rugby union player. He was the youngest ever All Black when he played his first international in 1994 at the age of 19 years and 45 days. Lomu finished with 63 caps and scored 37 international tries. Wikipedia

Born: May 12, 1975, Auckland, New Zealand
Died: November 18, 2015, Auckland, New Zealand
Height: 6′ 5″
Weight: 262 lbs

He had had a kidney transplant 13 or so years ago, retired from playing in 2008, and died suddenly on November 18.

He was amazing. So fast, and almost unstoppable.
