Jonah Lomu Men's Hoodie

Jonah Lomu Hoodie - Rugby's First Global Superstar Six foot four. 260 pounds. 10.8 seconds for 100 metres. Jonah Lomu was a physical impossibility who redefined what a winger could be - a man so devastating at the 1995 World Cup that England's Will Carling called him a freak and meant it as the highest compliment. His name on this hoodie belongs to the player who turned rugby union into a global sport. 7 tries in the 1999 World Cup. 2x World Cup finalist. 63 All Blacks caps. 37 Test tries - a New Zealand record at his retirement. Jonah Lomu grew up in Auckland and broke into the New Zealand All Blacks squad as a teenager, making his debut in 1994. The 1995 World Cup in South Africa announced him to the world - four tries against England in the semi-final, each one more unstoppable than the last, in a performance that is still replayed as the most dominant individual display in the tournament's history. England's Mike Catt being run over attempting a covering tackle remains one of rugby's defining images. Despite serious kidney disease that required a transplant in 2004 and ultimately took his life in November 2015 at just 40, Lomu played on with extraordinary courage - appearing at two more World Cups and remaining the most recognised face of the global game. His 37 Test tries stood as a New Zealand record for years. The sport of rugby union changed when Jonah Lomu played it.
