Family, fans and former teammates of Jonah Lomu flocked to Eden Park in Auckland to pay their final respects to the big man as his body was laid to rest.
It was also a chance for the greater rugby community to pay tribute, international stars like George Gregan and Tim Horan also in attendance. The Guardian reports:
Among the pallbearers were former All Black flankers Michael Jones and Dylan Mika, who together with former All Black coach John Hart had played important parts in arranging the service on behalf of Lomu’s wife, Nadene, as well as John Mayhew, the former team doctor who developed a close friendship with the giant winger as he battled kidney problems.
Some serious goosebumps. Cheers Jonah, thanks for the great memories.
