Jonah Lomu is regarded as the first true global superstar of rugby union, and one of the sport's most intimidating players on the pitch, and has had a huge impact on the game. He has played 73 times as an All Black after debuting in 1994.

Jonah's strength on the field is related to his harrowing upbringing in Auckland where he lost family members and many school friends in rival gang warfare.

Jonah Lomu burst onto the international rugby scene during the 1995 World Cup in South Africa. At one time he was considered 'rugby union's biggest drawcard', swelling attendances at any match where he appeared.

He has played for several provincial teams, in the National Provincial Championship (NPC) and Super Rugby competitions. These included the Auckland Blues, Waikato Chiefs, and later the Wellington Lions and Hurricanes. He is making a comeback after undergoing a kidney transplant in 2004 and remains the Rugby World Cup all-time top try scorer with 15 tries.

Jonah’s physique was particularly suited for rugby as he is large, fast, and strong - qualities he augments with aggression, skill, and an intimidating presence on the field. Despite being 6 foot 5 inches he was (the All Blacks heaviest ever back), when healthy, still able to run 100 metres (109.4 yards) in 10.89 seconds.

At the age of 19 years and 45 days Jonah Lomu became the youngest All Black test player as he debuted on the wing against France in 1994.

At the end of 1996 he was diagnosed as having nephrotic syndrome, a rare and serious kidney disorder. His rugby union career went on hold whilst the disorder was treated. In May 2003, the NZRFU announced that Jonah had been put on dialysis three times a week due to deterioration in his kidney function. Side effects of Jonah’s dialysis treatment led to severe nerve damage in his feet and legs; his doctors warned him that he faced life in a wheelchair if a kidney transplant was not performed soon.

In March 2004, Jonah had transplant surgery with the kidney donated by Wellington radio presenter Grant Kereama. He soon announced his intention to train for his rugby union renaissance in June 2005.

In 2005, he signed a two-year contract to play and coach for the New Zealand first division provincial team North Harbour in the NPC with North Harbour agreed to allow him to play overseas during the NPC off-season, so he signed with the Cardiff Blues of the Celtic League and began play in Wales. In early 2006 whilst playing for the Blues he would break his ankle as a result of a cover tackle against him.

Jonah Lomu is without doubt one of the worlds greatest ever rugby players and his battle against serious illness has only made him more determined to resume his international playing career.

He remains an Ambassador for his key sponsor Adidas and a true legend of the game.

In November 2009 Jonah Lomu has made a comeback to professional rugby with French side Marseille-Vitrolles.
