Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
“He’s an icon in rugby and I have to represent all the fans that Jonah had in the world”, he said.
Below, there is an example of the haka done by the current All Blacks team, so you can see how it looks on the field and below that is the very special one performed by Lomu’s former teammates at the ceremony.
A private family burial service will be held in Auckland today.
Former All Blacks Doctor, Dr. John Mayhew says Jonah Lomu dealt with life threatening illness with no self-pity.
Nearly 8,000 people have attended a public memorial for All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu, who died suddenly earlier this month.
The All Blacks star became one of the biggest names in rugby in the 90s because of his power, pace and the fear he put into oppositions – we’re sure it must have been terrifying to play against him.
In the video, he said that Lomu “proved that you can come from anywhere in New Zealand, in any background, and make it to the top”.
The pupils sang of Lomu as “No. 11, our friend in heaven”.
Lomu’s coffin was then carried into the stadium by pallbearers, including former All Blacks Michael Jones, Frank Bunce, Joeli Vidiri and Jerome Kaino.
His wife Nadene, flanked by sons Brayley, six, and Dhyreille, five, addressed mourners from an altar that was surrounded by pale roses.
It’s said that Jonah’s two boys, Brayley and Dhyreille, paid a touching tribute to their dad singing, “I am a Child of God”.
During the service, former teammate of Lomu, Eric Rush, spoke about his friend. He had a kidney transplant in 2004 and had been on dialysis treatment for the last 10 years.
