Such a shock, despite his long illness. Awesome rugby player, from such a young age, running through teams. Brilliant to watch whenever he got the ball.

It's so sad when anyone is taken at such a young age. When I was playing rugby, wingers were 10 stone dripping wet and fleet of foot. Then there was Jonah. 6ft 5, weighing in at 18 stone. No wonder Tony Underwood got steamrollered when he went to make that tackle in the 1995 World Cup. #RIPJonah
So sad. The first of his kind and everyone remembers him for being that frightening athlete, no less so than for the opposition player that had to tackle him. Make that players.
As mentioned above, he changed the game. When I played wingers were tiny little whippets that could be smashed by obnoxious flankers like myself given half a chance. Now they are beasts
This Is a real shock. I was at an event only Las month and he was there with other ex rugby players from days gone by. Held in high regard from all there

RIP
I knew he has been ill in the recent past, however it's still a shock.
Rest in Peace Jonah
RIP Jonah
Probably the first true superstar of rugby - first I can remember anyway.
Glad he got to see the All Blacks win in London before he unexpectedly passed away. Far too young.
RIP
Always came across as humble and a gent. A real gentle giant.
RIP.
