Jonah Tali Lomu was a New Zealand rugby player—a spectacularly fast and powerful winger—who played 63 tests for New Zealand. At the age of 19, he became the youngest All Blacks player to play international games. He finished his international career with 63 caps and 37 tries. He was described as the first true global superstar of rugby union as he had a huge impact on the game. He was compared with super famous sporting figures like Muhammad Ali, Don Bradman, and Tiger Woods. He was considered 'rugby union's biggest drawcard', as he drew huge attendance in matches. He was acclaimed as the top player at the 1995 World Cup in South Africa. He holds the Rugby World Cup all-time try score record of 15 tries. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, a serious kidney disorder, which forced him to retire from professional rugby quite early in his career. He died after suffering a heart attack associated with his kidney condition. He was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame on October 9, 2007, and the IRB Hall of Fame on October 24, 2011.
