This has to be one of the greatest moments in word rugby. At the 1995 World Cup, a young New Zealander called Jonah Lomu broke onto the rugby scene with an amazing performance and to top it off he literally ran over England’s Mike Catt. I just had to look for this video and share it with you. I am sure no matter who you support you rate this moment of brilliance up there with the greatest moments in the history of rugby.
I must say I am not really surprised by this one. Wales winger Shane Williams has been named the International Rugby Board Player of the Year for 2008...
There will never be another Jonah Lomu in my opinion. The likes of Caucau and Habana have come but there will never be another Jonah and probably not a better winger to play the game than him. I would challenge anyone here to name me a better winger at their peak / prime than this man. We can even ask Mike Catt, I am sure he has the boot marks to prove it.
I would have to say you can put Caucau up there with Jonah. Not saying he was better than Jonah but if CauCau had been serious about playing rugby he would have been even more of a legend than he is today. The guy was talented but just too lazy, kind of like many guys I know in high school!!
