A really sad day for sport, he was easily the best Rugby player I've seen, and one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. Ive never seen a Rugby player who could just bulldoze his way through defences like could. RIP
Jonah Lomu RIP

Savea is a great talent, but you mustn't have watched much of Jonah Lomu's career if you think Savea is as good. Lomu could take whole defences apart on his own, it would take 4 or 5 men to stop him sometimes. No Rugby player before or since made the impact he did 
I read a thing recently that said the average weight of the Welsh backs in the 2015 World Cup was heavier than the average weight of the Kiwi forwards in 1987

Both true,huge men 16-19 stone and all power and speed.It must be a scary prospect trying to tackle one of those guys

Thats nonsense the players wherent any smaller in the 90s, it hasn't taken them til the 21st century to realise you need to be big and strong to be good at Rugby.
You won't find many athletes like Jonah Lomu, an 18 stone man who was lean, aswell as being able to run 100m in less than 11 seconds. Not to mention his agility and footwork. You get big guys these days, but they aren't lean, nor do they have the athleticism that Lomu had.
You get athletes and sportsmen who come along every now and then who are on another level to everyone else, and he was one of them

Well we'll have to disagree on that one, as I feel in the current NZ side he'd stand out even more, as the current side is better than the one he played in.
Was lumo 18 stone?????
**** me.
Yeah he was a big lad, especially considering he was a winger.
Bolt would come into that category but having said that Bruce Lee would kick both into next week.Thats nonsense the players wherent any smaller in the 90s, it hasn't taken them til the 21st century to realise you need to be big and strong to be good at Rugby.

if we're bringing Bolt into it, then surely Lance Armstrong deserves a mention. 7 Tour De France in a row
