Jonah Lomu’s widow has paid tribute to the late All Blacks legend five years after his sudden death rocked the rugby world. Nadene Lomu posted a heartfelt message on social media on Wednesday, saying her “insides are hurting and crushed beyond repair”. The giant wing had not long returned from Dubai, where he had been holidaying after the Rugby World Cup in the UK, when he collapsed and couldn't be resuscitated. He had a kidney transplant in 2004 and suffered health setbacks during the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
