All Blacks star Jonah Lomu has died aged 40 All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu has died in Auckland today, aged 40. A Herald source confirmed Lomu had died unexpectedly this morning. Lomu was still suffering from the rare kidney disorder known as nephrotic syndrome that began to make itself apparent even when he was making global headlines steamrolling England into submission at the 1995 Rugby World Cup and afterwards. He had a kidney transplant in 2004 which helped his battle for seven and a half years. But his body rejected the replacement organ in 2011. He had recently been in England with his family and as a spokesman for Heineken during the Rugby World Cup.

While I do not know Jonah Lomu, I am so very sorry that someone so young is no longer with us. RIP. Take care, Pat |

He was Rugby's first global superstar Pat ... a gentle giant, gone far too early. Two little boys aged 5 and 6 have lost their Dad. He only returned from the UK after the World Cup two days ago. |
