The sight of All Black wing Jonah Lomu running rampant against England in the semi final of Rugby World Cup 1995 is one few people will ever forget, certainly not the likes of Mike Catt and Tony Underwood.

Lomu scored four of his eight tries in that World Cup against England to deservedly waltz away with the Player of the Tournament honour, the giant wing adding another seven four years later to lead the try scoring charts to this day.

What was it that made Lomu such a special player and will we ever see another individual have such an impact on a World Cup? The VISA RWC 2007 Debate in Paris put Zinzan Brooke, Martin Johnson, John Eales, Philippe Sella and Joel Stransky on the spot to find out.

i was actually watching videos of him the other day on Youtube, think the Tony Underwood demolition was my favourite :lol:

The guy is a complete legend, though i enjoyed Chabal´s run last Sat almost as much!!!
