“Pass it to Jonah.”
New Zealand rugby legend Jonah Lomu died aged 40 as the result of a heart attack on Wednesday morning, and the world is paying tribute to one of the greatest sportsmen of all time.
Lomu set a record by scoring 15 tries for his country in the Rugby World Cup.
When he was in full flight, he was almost unstoppable.
He was so dominant on the pitch that New Zealand created the catchphrase: "Remember rugby is a team game, so all 14 of you pass the ball to Jonah.”
A spokesperson for his family said his death was "totally unexpected".
Lomu had a kidney condition which forced him to quit the game and seek a transplant in 2004, but his replacement kidney had stopped functioning by 2011.
