On Tuesday, Kiwi journalist Hilary Barry hit out at the fact that Lomu's troubles had been aired so publicly.
"Sometimes I think it's best to deal with private problems privately," she wrote. "Why could the NZRFU and Players' Association not have had a whip around behind closed doors?"
"It concerns me that the memory of this great and gentle giant will be tarnished by the negativity this initiative will generate."
Sonny Bill Williams has also spoken out about Lomu's name being dragged through the headlines.

The centre's sentiments were generally reflected in a slew of replies, which expressed the desire that Lomu's family can be left in peace after the passing of the greatest player in the history of the sport.Explore more on these topics:
