All Blacks Legend Jonah Lomu Dead At 40

Jonah Lomu, considered one of the most ferocious rugby players of all time has died at the age of 40, his wife confirms. Lomu was a combination of power and speed  who dominated as a member of the New Zealand All Blacks from 1994 to 2002.

In fact, the Dallas Cowboys reportedly tried to recruit him to transition in to pro football in the mid '90s ... but he refused to leave the sport of rugby.

Lomu was diagnosed with a rare kidney infection which forced him to quit rugby in the early 2000s. He had a transplant in 2004 but the organ stopped working in 2011.

New Zealand 34-17 Australia: All Blacks Win Rugby World Cup

Ma'a Nonu and Nehe Milner-Skudder both went over for the All Blacks as they became the first side in history to seal back-to-back world titles

Payback time, big time, for Dan Carter as he guided New Zealand to their second World Cup on the spin and buried the hell of four years’ ago. Carter has a World Cup winners’ medal in his locker but that one means diddly squat compared to the one he pocketed at Twickenham on Saturday.

In 2011 Carter was the poster boy of a home tournament but ended up crocked and missed out on the business end of the party. This time round he was the business and he had 19 points to prove it. Australia tried to get Carter but they couldn’t do it and he buried the Wallabies with something to spare.
