Wow, indeed. RIP. I've only seen YouTube footage, but all accounts say he was the Bo Jackson-Michael Jordan hybrid of rugby union.

Lomu's try against England in the 1995 World Cup, voted the greatest World Cup try ever:



Lomu's greatest hits:



As a buddy of mine said, oh, what Lomu may have done with an American football in his hand. But that what-if doesn't diminish one millimeter of his greatness as a world sportsman. Legend is an overused term, but it fits here.
