From 'Frenchie' to Future Star

A French Connection
Jonah Lomu's spell in France came in the twilight of his career, which also included a memorable stint with Cardiff Blues. While his time in Europe was brief, it's left a lasting legacy for his family.
The Legend Lives On
Lomu tragically passed away in 2015, but his legacy as rugby's first global superstar endures. With 63 caps and 37 tries for the All Blacks, he revolutionized the wing position and brought unprecedented attention to the game. Now, his son might just carry that torch—in the blue of France.
