What a lovely tribute.
The life of the great Jonah Lomu was celebrated in a memorial service in Eden Park in Auckland, nearly two weeks on from his death at the age of 40.
Thousands of people attended the service, which was marked with a stirring and emotional haka performed by some of the men that played alongside Lomu.
Another of his former team-mates, Eric Rush, who played with Lomu for the All-Blacks and the New Zealand sevens side, delivered Lomu’s eulogy at the service in what was a warm, moving and at times very funny speech.
Rush told the audience a number of great stories about Lomu, about his experiences with him on and off the pitch, including the time he ate a baguette with 16 boiled eggs in it.
