  • From the US and Jonah was my inspiration to start up my high school's first rugby team in 2007 after watching his highlights and Adidas commercial. I've been spreading the word about the legend ever since. Hope this releases overseas!

  • I met him once in my hometown during a 7's, many years after i wrote him in Twitter and he remembered...It was a very sad day when he died. I remember where I was and what I was doing, and got very sad. LONG LIVE THE LEGEND!
