If there was only a name of rugby player known by the general public, it would be the legend All Black, Jonah Tali Lom. He was born on May 12th, 1975 in Auckland, died on November 18th, 2015. At first rugby player in XII. Chris Grinterce allowed him to start in rugby XV. He integrated into the team of New Zealand, the All Blacks in 1994.

He revolutionized the post of winger thanks to his exceptional physical abilities, his heavy template for this post, allied to a speed of impressive running ran (100 meters in 11 seconds). When the rugby just began to professionalize, he already had the stature of current athletes: 1.96 meters for 119 kilos. In two World Cups this legendary rugby player established a record of 15 tries, but this one was equalized by Bryan Habana during the World Cup in 2015. In May, 2003 Jonah Lomu had to stop his rugby player's career because of his problemwith his kidneys which caused a heart attach. He unfortunately died on November 18, 2015.

Jonah Lomu is important for me because I loved and watched rugby for a long time so for me he is a role model.

He is an example because he fought his kidney disease.
