The hatrick he scored in the quarter final against France in 2015 was all class.

In his prime the guy was absolute world class, Unplayable. Would loved to have seen him in the black jersey a couple of more years.

Like Hansen said in 2015, he was better than Lomu. Lomu was so overrated - terrible defense, terrible under the high ball, no kicking game, terrible at going backwards - he just had a nice highlight reel of him running over a 60kg English winger at the end of the amateur era.

Gee, Hosea Gear AND Julian Savea on the wings in this Wellington team... that would be a nightmare to defend against.

I remember being frustrated with how he couldn't catch kicks when he was first being hyped up. He fixed that pretty quick and became a great winger. Still looked pretty good last season too.

Lomu was absolutely unique and comparisons of anyone with him, no matter how good they may be, are pointless. RIP Jonah.

Lomu was great, but he was one dimensional….he had a running game but lacked passing, kicking and his defence was questionable. Wingers these days are more well rounded and that’s just the truth.

Would've been the highest try scorer ever for the ABS ,sadly personal issues got in the way

No doubt he was the best in his prime, would have loved to have seen him in the black jersey a few more years but at least we have highlights to watch of Julez 🙌🔥

There can only ever be one Lomu ... unchallenged.

Tonight against the crusaders was his best match in 5 years. Bullied Richie mo'unga like he did to Israel dagg back in 2013. Bumped him off 3 times in the last 30 minutes.

There was a few big wingers that hit just before Lomu and Savea. Timo Tagaloa, Inga Tuigamala, John Kirwan, Norman Berryman among a few others. In NZ we have been blessed to watch some big barnstorming wingers growing up watching the NPC.

I’m glad I was there 2015 in Cardiff to see him clapping 4 French defenders with his thighs. What a sight it was🤣

one can beat the records of jonah lomu.

I wondered if he can match up with Joshua Tuisova the Fijian flair

No...josua tuisova is the New lomu... ago longtime

Good player was Julian , brother is pretty handy too

It's true that there is some "LOMU" in him, but I much prefer the RTS style of the Blues...

What about when the tomarata terror from northland bowled him over

What happened to him??? I thought he could be the next Lomu but after the 2015 RWC he somehow never reached his old form...

Graham Henry and Steve Hanson were the two that buggered his rugby career up..They knew he had issues off the field,instead of helping him to try overcome those issues-Nah -they left him out in the cold..Thats when his rugby started to get worse everytime he went out on the field...Could'nt catch a ball ,His tackling was feeble,just about everything he done went all wrong.. I always said and still stand by it-2015 rugby world cup -game against *FRANCE* was the best i seen him play-He just Bulldozed his way over the line for 3 tries..Yep he was great in his teens right up to the 2015 world cup..

Not even close to lomu when you compare to Taqele Nayaravoro. Nayaravoro his the real Lomu of today . Watch all his highlights.

Annnd wellington still can't win a comp after 22 years. Painful.

The next silly robot.

He’s no Lomu. Lomu was an AB for years. This guy lasted only 5 tops. His brother was a better AB.

Not the next lomu

If they could play defensive he would be just another rugby player. Bad bad tackling....

As a Saffa, I can honestly say that Lomu in his prime was one of the best wingers ever to play the game even though he never scored against the Boks in 10 or 11 games it took so many Boks to defend against him that Christian Cullen scored 11 or 12 tries in those same games. Even if he wasn't scoring his presence alone created a huge psychological edge over opposition sides. Jono Lomu, this Saffa salutes you. May you rest in peace big man. To the numb nuts who wrote the original message, you really do not know much about the game and I'm kinda embarrassed on your behalf.

Mate, is everything Black & White in your world? Anyone that leaves out key pieces of information or tries to diminish someone's achievements to validate their opinion, is either insecure or doesn't have all the information to form an objective unbiased critique. Some might call it uninformed, for want of a more colloquial reference but I prefer to use the term Unbalanced. The real world has more colour's than just Black & White. Maybe when you start seeing or acknowledging those colour's the world will become a lot clearer otherwise they'll remain binary, thereby rendering your analysis, meaningless and irrelevant. If you need to ask what I'm talking about then you obviously don't possess the necessary skills to analyze and decipher facts to arrive at the correct conclusion because they aren't grounded in all the available facts (including context) BUT rather, half truths (cherry picked or implied facts) by the deliberate omission of key facts. The only conclusion you can draw is some personal crusade to discredit them through misinformation, which seems to be more contagious and a lot more dangerous than a certain virus. Now that you've mastered copy/paste, maybe you should start working on those other skills.
