Unbelievable!

Jonah was one of the few players that people who know nothing about rugby would have heard of and within rugby he was a legend in his own lifetime. Anyone who saw the coverage of him running over Tony Underwood won't forget it.

Precisely. I am not into sports, but I knew of him when I heard the news on Radio 5 last night.

“Remember rugby is a team game – all 14 of you pass the ball to Jonah!”

It's an often used cliche, but he was a genuine giant amongst men. It could take a generation or more before another player like him comes along.

Yep Jonah will be sadly missed
A giant of a man both in stature
And in heart
God bless you Jonah

A joy to watch, glad I never had to get in front of him in full flow. RIP.
