I guess anything to do with Jonah has to be labelled "huge" though, doesn't it?
But in all seriousness, I also can't wait. Good on the big fella.

It's good to see from a Rugby & a human point of view. The word "legend" is overused, but it's definitely appropriate in the big man's case.
I heard he'd had his kidney transplanted under his ribcage to protect it, so he obviously always intended to come back to the game. Good on him.

Lots of Talent? He ran into people... He can't tackle....

He certainly had problems on defence - he turned as slowly as the hamster in BoyBrumby's brain.Retox said:
But to suggest running into people was the sum total of his talent is an immense discredit to the man. His size, combined with his speed, balance and agility, made him the massive force he was.

I wouldn't call Lomu a world class player because I doubt he could have gone into the Scottish team for example and made a huge difference.
He was a liability on defence and his positional play at times was questionable.
In saying that, I wish him all the best and hope he can at least play NPC.

He ran into people who couldn't tackle is probably more appropriate - it's not fair to blame that on him.Retox said:

He's a better player than all Englishmen at the moment...Piper said:Hes a better player than most Aussies
Ok maybe i over stepped the mark by saying "lots" but he has talent... if he didnt have any talent he wouldnt be in the All Blacks

I heard his kidney's actually wearing custom made headgear of its own...can never be too careful!BoyBrumby said:It's good to see from a Rugby & a human point of view. The word "legend" is overused, but it's definitely appropriate in the big man's case.
