It didnt matter where rupeni was on the field whether it was on the wing or in the middle he could absolutely tear you to shreds.

@@sheldoncooper0 That's true but at least Phil got close and put the shoulder in. Sometimes that's as much as you can do. Once he slowed Jonah down a bit, Dallaglio could try to wrap him up. Without the initial speed bump, Jonah would have just kept striding away. In a way, it exemplifies why rugby is a true team effort, like the way the Books handled him in the '95 World Cup Final. One man couldn't do it alone so three or four got the big man simultaneously.

Was the same methods used on Caucau? NO...not at all. Lomu at his best was used as a decoy for Wilson and Cullen to score tries. Caucau was great for the blues in 03. Left to play in france..played mostly second division and scored wonder tries. I think prime lomu is still the best attacking winger overall. Nadolo just as dangerous. Caucau has to be up there though.

@@jldp24 they attempted to gang tackle him but he was too strong. He didnt have the spatial awareness of a joe roff or ben tune. Lomu's best friend on the rugby field was the touch line because he only had defenders coming at him from one side. It didnt matter where rupeni was on the field whether it was on the wing or in the middle he could absolutely tear you to shreds. I've never seen a player outclass those dominant brumbies and crusaders teams like he did. There's a difference between being a dominant power winger and an attacking winger.

That's amazing on reflection. "The Cornish Rock" and he just smashed him lol! One of, if not the most, exciting player in rugby history. RIP Jonah.
The Original Beast of World Rugby Jonah Lomu.
simpson-daniel depriving us of the ultimate duel. Greatest tackler in the history of rugby union v greatest attacker in rugby union history. RIP Big J, you're sorely missed by every England Rugby fan for your sheer excellence and humbleness. Legend.

yes excellent quote
What a force of nature! Unbelievable power!
Springboks vs All Blacks 85 played, All Blacks won 48, Springboks won 34, 3 Draws, Keep in mind the vast majority of that period we weren't allowed to play our brown boys (star players) and South Africa didn't understand what a neutral ref was!
Taine Randell's face says, "You just killed that man."
It's like he looks for players to run into instead of trying to run around them haha what a beast. Thanks for the upload
No shame in that- big Johah put loads of great players flat on their arses- that's why we still respect and remember him all these years after his test career ended. A true great of the game.
if lomus overrated then gregan is a woman
only one n no other...Jonah the great, iz thank you for everything. RIP bradas
Given that Vickery and Lomu are matched for weight it shows the raw power Lomu had!

Yeah steroids will do that to your kidneys. Play clean and play long
yeah but lomu accomplished what he did in the sport with a serious kidney disease. Their was a documentary done on lomu and medical specialists stated that because of his disease he was really only operating at around 50-60% of his physical potential. Now take that into consideration that the disease didn't allow him to perform at his best and it cut his career short, so what he did on a rugby pitch was pretty phenomenal! Now just think what he would of been like at 100%, unstoppable!

You have bad kidneys.you end being very lethargic and weak. He would pass out after rugby practice in 1995 at the World cup.
A special athlete
comfortably the greatest union player ever - possibly the greatest rugby player ever - its between him and Mal
We play a lot of different sports in NZ and for a country of 4 million, we are very successful and have been World Champs in quite a few.
Dallaglio did not want to know about it. "Please somebody tackle him before I have to"
look at that face determination go Lomu your the man we all enjoyed your game

hahahahahahah if lomu was running at me like that id gladdly move aside
i love the fe fi foe thumb i smell the try line of an english man, thank you for posting this. vickery on his arse i didn't think possable lol
At least Vickery tried to put the tackle in and slowed Jonah down. That's more than some players managed to do.

Phil was a behemoth 130kg prop... and he wasn't short either (6'4). He was essentially bigger than Lomu... Of course he could just stand in front of him and it'd slow Lomu down a lot even if the tackle wasn't made... The other guys that Lomu ran into before Phil were backs sub 90kg...

@@sheldoncooper0 That's true but at least Phil got close and put the shoulder in. Sometimes that's as much as you can do. Once he slowed Jonah down a bit, Dallaglio could try to wrap him up. Without the initial speed bump, Jonah would have just kept striding away. In a way, it exemplifies why rugby is a true team effort, like the way the Books handled him in the '95 World Cup Final. One man couldn't do it alone so three or four got the big man simultaneously.
he may not have been the most complete player, bit shaky in defence and under the high ball, work rate was low, but man he is probably the most gifted player ever in terms of speed, size and strength. To put a prop on their arse as a back is nearly impossible these days
Person and Player of a lifetime.
vickery had the laugh, he isnt worm food
After that tackle Vickery was nicknamed, Mick Jagger because Lomu turned the Cornish Rock into a Rolling Stone.
Simply the greatest of all time.

haha, i was at this match. I remember it took at least 3 players to bring him down each time. England won in the end by 3 points i think. But definitely one of the best matches i've seen
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about because Jeff 'Goldie' Wilson was loved by every New Zealander, not only for his brilliant rugby but for the many other sports he excelled at. He was the last player to play for both the Black caps and the All Blacks. We also rated Kirwan, he was a great winger of the 87 world cup, we also rate Batty and Stu Wilson and Bryan Williams... the list goes on and on and on. Will Carling said it all "Lomu changed the game, simple."
The fact he never wonThe Webb Ellis Cup is crazy defo one of the greatest to play the game .
What a specimen, fuck having that running towards you at full pelt, awesome. RIP JL.
I'm from wales and england and wales are like the biggest rivals in britain when it comes to rugby but i gotta say i totally agree with u
Awesome. RIP big fella.
The Cornish rock demolished like a Cornish Pasty.
The Power and The Glory - that was Jonah !! Massive and fast, a deadly combination !!
Yes he got through one of England's best Tighthead props of all time, perhaps one of the best in the world as England has one of the best front rows, but it takes balls to go in for a tackle against him running as fast as he can, Vickery got up straight afterwards and when he went in for the tackle, Lomu stopped. This allowed him to get tackled by Lawrence Dallaglio
A Back sitting down a Prop back then - incredible really
"finalist"..............LOL! Your point about England's test record v NZ is a good one and it helps prove my point about Lomu. England have only beaten NZ a few times and many of those victories were against a NZ with the ""legendary"" Jonah Lomu. O.V.E.R. - R.A.T.E.D
JONAH ..ball in hand we had a wail/ whale of a time watching how he dismanteled intended tacklers..but respect to all those WHO had been " LOMUED " Square and fair .....every single rugby player at Heart..would have liked to accept " THE LOMU CHALLENGE " ..tackle that train / beast / or just plain ...STOP JONAH .
""He deserves an international cult following"" "He put rugby on the map"" Thank you for proving my point!
the Cornish Rock turned into a Cornish Blossom!
Please and honour to have watched him play rugby.
I just have to love the mindset you see here, what a tank! Wings these days are all about darting, evading. Even the big wings, North, Savea, Tuilagi (there's more than one in the family guys...) Gear... sure they go through people if they need to, or try to... but this monster, Lomu, 3 times in this one clip it wasn't a step outside of a defender, each and every time it was a step IN TO them.
Boxing had Ali, Basketball had Jordan, WWE had Hulk Hogan, Golf has TIger and Rugby had Jonah
0:09 LOL they trip over eachother
iv never seen a winger do something like that to a tighthead prop, especially the raging bull Vickery
What a player!
maybe this jeff wilson is better,but god damnit lomu is the most exciting to player to watch in rugby history,whenever he got the ball,everyone felt something great was gonna happen,and half the time it did.
he could have easily ran along the touchline skinning vickery on his way to the tryline bu this is lomu we are taking about. BEAST
i played against lomu with the Vancouver rowing club under 19's he was on a NZ touring team , i went blind side from the scrum from inside center and got done! by the 8 man, next year he started with the all blacks, vickery was brave but a cat cannot stop a truck
He pushed Simpson Daniel all the way back to his club side 😂
Good work by a prop ...he is back on his feet and in the defesive line moments later... Lomu does not have to knock his nuts of in the scrum !!
He wasnt on the playing field week in and out, because he was battling a severe kidney disease , watch his documentary bro.. Nz owns this sport and it originated from England... Haha, goes to show , even a small cou try like Nz can produce Rare talent, especially Polynesians.
Wilkinson was probably the best defending fly half of all time and he got rag-dolled!

people dont realise he had a closeness with the english team and british public he loved it there
Lomu was truly awesome, but in fairness to England, they did find a way to stop him
inevitable head raking at the ruck however
The raging speed bump
if you had a look at the IRB rankings for the past decade you and i know which three teams have consistently been up there. we can pull out impressive statistics all day, but im proud to come from the southern hemisphere and although i have a deep respect for our northern foes, right now we are better and have been for some time.
' and that's Phil Vickery, the Cornish 'Pasty''..lol
he made Sinbad look like a school boy
This is correct. He was/is a one dimensional player-he was a monster with the ball in his hands-but that one dimension was outrageous.
That's my HERO right there!!!! Don't mess with him.
Not insulting the All Blacks, but when Lomu was playing they basically played him the ball and got carried by him. Really hope Lawrence Okoye turns to rugby again, he's 6"6, 21st and 100m in 10.7 We've got our own Lomu now!!
The number 6 all-black guy following Lomu cannot believe his eyes too at 0:35, the expression on his face is like WTF, you just did that??
RIP the greatest
i love how dawson was backing away waiting for anyone else to get there
the look on his face before contact is enough to break a tackle!!
