The rugby union star has died unexpectedly at the age of 40 after suffering from kidney disease since 1995.
Rugby Union fans are shocked after the sudden death of former New Zealand All Blacks left-winger Jonah Lomu.
The 40-year-old suffered from the kidney disorder nephrotic syndrome.
He had a kidney transplant in 2004 but has been on dialysis since 2011, when his body rejected the transplant.

A destructive left-winger, Lomu played 63 Tests for New Zealand from 1994–2002. His most famous play was in the Rugby World Cup in 1995 when he smashed through the England defence.
Lomu scored four tries in the semifinal, leading New Zealand to a 45–29 victory.
"I am hoping not to come across him again," said England captain Will Carling at the time.
"He's a freak – and the sooner he goes away the better."
