Jonah Lomu

Jonah Lomu changed the sport of rugby forever. Standing at 6'5" and weighing over 120kg, he possessed the speed of a sprinter and the power of a forward. His performance at the 1995 Rugby World Cup remains the most iconic individual display in the sport's history. Lomu forced teams to rethink their defensive structures, as he was virtually impossible to tackle one-on-one.

Beyond his physical stats, he was the first true global superstar of the professional era, bringing rugby to a mainstream audience and inspiring a generation of players worldwide.
