Clik here to view.Jonah Lomu, the hulking New Zealand winger who was farewelled Monday at a public memorial, dragged rugby union into the modern era with the same ferocity he used to trample opposing players. Hailed as the sport's first global superstar, he shot to international fame at the 1995 World Cup in South Africa, a year after becoming the youngest ever All Black at the age of 19 years and 45 days. At his peak, the 1.96 metre (6ft 5in) Lomu weighed 120 kilograms (265 pounds) and could cover 100 metres in 10.8 seconds, providing a combination of speed and power that terrorised opponents.
