Jonah Lomu

This week my reading group has been learning about Jonah Lomu and his past life.

Jonah is the biggest rugby player in history. He is 1.96 meters tall, he weighs 116 kj, wears size 13 boots and can run 100 meters in 10.8 seconds. When he was nineteen he started playing for the All Blacks.

When he was 9 he really shot up and ended having to run to church because he was too tall to fit in the car with his family. When he left home he had to get a special house built for him so he wouldn't hit his head when walking through a door.
