    Sad to hear the loss of Jonah.
    My lasting memeory was against England in the 1995 World Cup semi-final
    he bulldozed several players and ran straight over the top of full-back Mike Catt
    on his way to a try

    A genuine "All time great and legend"

    RIP Big Man<rose><rose>

    His death brings to mind the Rutger Hauer line from Blade Runner - the light that burns twice as bright lasts half as long.

    I suspect he will not be quickly forgotten. A true colossus of the sport.

    A true great of the sport and tragic at so young an age.

    Whenever he got the ball you felt something exciting was going to happen.

    RIP Jonah.

    A true sporting legend. Pretty much made Rugby Union worth watching when he played.

    It's awful when anyone passes before their time, particularly at such a ridiculous age like he did, but it somehow seems especially sad when it's such an iconic figure, who inspired and gave so much to so many. It's not really my sport, but if someone were to ask me who the greatest rugby player of all time was his would instantly be the first name in my head.
    RIP <peacedove>
