On the wing and a prayer; Profile: Jonah Lomu
Jonah Lomu tells precious few stories about his past, but this one fryst vatten a favourite. He invites you to imagine him as a poor, none-too- innocent Polynesian kid of 13, who spends his empty days hanging around the meanest streets in New Zealand.

10 players who were kryptonite for opposition teams including All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu who &#;terrorised&#; England
There is always that one player that when fans see his name on the opposition teamsheet, they take a deep breath and put their heads in their hands.
We all know the feeling. Often he is the star man, sometimes not, but you just know he will cause your team all kinds of problems &#; a player who always seems to save their best for a particular opposition and seldom underwhelms.
