"Jonah Tali Lomu", is a former New Zealand rugby union player. He had sixty-three Cap (sport)/caps as an All Blacks/All Black after debuting in 1994. He is generally regarded as the first true global superstar of rugby union. He has had a huge impact on the game. He was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame on 9 October 2007, and the IRB Hall of Fame on 24 October 2011.

Lomu burst onto the international rugby scene during the 1994 Hong Kong Sevens tournament and was widely acknowledged to be the top player at the 1995 Rugby World Cup/1995 World Cup in South Africa even though New Zealand lost the final to the host Springboks. At one time Lomu was considered 'rugby union's biggest drawcard', swelling attendances at any match where he appeared. He is the Rugby World Cup all-time top try scorer with 15 tries - despite never winning a World Cup.

He has played for several domestic teams, in the Super Rugby, Air New Zealand Cup/NPC and later the Magners League competitions. These included the Auckland Blues, Waikato Chiefs/Chiefs and Wellington Hurricanes/Hurricanes, and Counties Manukau Rugby Union/Counties Manukau, Wellington Lions/Wellington and later North Harbour Rugby Union/North Harbour and Cardiff Blues. He made a comeback after undergoing a Kidney transplantation/kidney transplant in 2004.

It will be much more of a goldfish bowl when I go back to New Zealand.

It's been a long road back to health and fitness for me. I am just glad to have been given the opportunity to do what I love most.

For me, I want to get into training and make the squad.

The shoulder injury I incurred during the match in June took me out of the NPC season in New Zealand.

I don't think they'll slip up and this side is going to get better.

I reckon I can (do it).

[Ultimately, though, this sojourn to Arms Park constitutes a last chance for Lomu and one suspects he realises as much.] Frank Bunce didn't start his Test career until he was 30, and eventually gained 69 New Zealand caps, while Linford Christie won the 100m gold at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona when he was 32, so age is a state of mind, ... Please don't concentrate on my past. Focus on my future.

Where do I start? My former manager, Phil Kingsley-Jones, is Welsh, and I've spent a lot of time in the Principality, and I am looking for a challenge and a platform which will allow me a standard of rugby which will allow me to prove to my critics that I am not some washed-up has-been.

I am very excited to be here in Wales and look forward to putting on the Cardiff Blues shirt.
