Jonah Lomu: Ten most memorable moments in rugby

Jonah Lomu, whose death aged 40 has shocked the world of sport, spent his entire career terrorising defences with his juggernaut running style.

The New Zealand wing was famous for smashing through the opposition on his way to the try-line - so we've picked out some of his best moments from a glittering career.

1. New Zealand 45-29 England - 1995

The England team at the World Cup were shocked by Lomu as the powerful winger ran in four tries to ensure the All Blacks progressed to the final.

The most famous moment arrived when he bulldozed his way through the remnants of an England defence, making Rory Underwood look like a four-year old taking on a giant, before finally seeing off a despairing Will Carling and touching down.

2. Australia 35-39 New Zealand- 2000

This game was rugby at its very best. Australia were in the lead going into injury-time but the ferocious Lomu was not willing to be beaten. Taking the ball out on the left flank he took the hosts head on, beating two tackles and touching down to record a historic win for New Zealand against their arch rivals.

3. New Zealand 43-19 Ireland - 1995

Lomu made the 1995 World Cup his own, scoring his first two tries in a competition which went on to become synonymous with the New Zealand winger. Three Ireland defenders were held off for the first one as Lomu showed off his talents to a global audience having arrived at the tournament with only two caps to his name.

4. New Zealand 69-20 Scotland - 2000

At the peak of his powers Lomu steamrolled Scotland in Dunedin smashing his way to his second Test hat-trick as another British Isles teams found out what it's like to face the winger is full flight. On his first effort he beat two men, fell down and still managed to get up and get over the line. To complete his hat-trick he managed a superb solo effort, running from his own 22.

5. Auckland Blues 48-11 Northern Transvaal - 1996

A mere youngster at 19 years of age, the winger showed his raw talent in a cup semi-final for home side Auckland Blues - running 45 yards with the ball before evading tackles to turn home.

6. England 31-28 New Zealand - 2002

Lomu saved himself for one last 80 minutes of putting fear through England, smashing his way through for a memorable try that took him to a career total 37 on the international stage.

7. Italy 6-70 New Zealand - 1995

After a rampant performance at the World Cup, Lomu continued his sparkling form during a demolition of Italy in New Zealand's European tour.

One memorable try saw Italian tacklers trailing in his wake as he burst from halfway.

8. France 43-31 New Zealand - 1999

Despite his side succumbing to a shock defeat in the 1999 World Cup semi-final, Lomu once again showed his prowess - putting New Zealand ahead with two stunning tries.

With his first, Lomu shook off around six men to cross the line, while an incredible weaving driver took him past seven to secure his second.

9. Scotland 31-74 Barbarians

It may only have been a tour match, but Jonah Lomu had no reservations about making the Scots look silly again as he wowed at Murrayfield for the Barbarians.

By the time he left the pitch on 58 minutes, Lomu had made three tries and scored four - though the most memorable moment was perhaps when he sat down Scottish centre Marcus di Rollo as if swatting a fly.

10. Cardiff Blues 41-23 Newport Gwent Dragons - 2005

While on paper it may not have been his most important effort, Lomu's sole try for Cardiff Blues held enormous symbolic importance.

Having been forced out of the game with nephrotic syndrome, the rare condition that saw him needing a kidney transplant in 2004, Lomu joined the Blues in the hope of regaining a spot in the All Blacks' 2007 World Cup side.

Those hopes never came to fruition, but the sight of Lomu crossing the line was one that delighted fans at Cardiff Arms park and the man himself.
