5. Jonah Lomu – “A superstar”
“He bowled me over about 5m when I tried to tackle him in one of my first games. A superstar. Gutted I never played with him,” said Dan Carter.
It’s no surprise Carter starts with the late, great Jonah Lomu. The towering winger was a global superstar and changed the perception of what a rugby player could be. Known for his combination of speed, size, and power, Lomu scored 37 tries in 63 Tests for New Zealand and became a household name during the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
