Prior to the 2002 Commonwealth Games, which included Rugby Sevens, the BBC picked out four players who they though could become rugby superstars.
Joe Rokocoko (New Zealand)
What they said: The new sensation of All Blacks rugby, the 19-year-old is already being hailed as the new Jonah Lomu.He burst onto the international scene this season, his highlight arguably when he ran in two tries for victory in the Singapore round of the world sevens.Despite comparisons to Lomu, the pair’s style varies massively.Rokocoko prefers to dance around the outside of players rather than bulldoze and could be the leading young player in the sevens in Manchester.
How happened next? Rokocoko ended his career as joint second with Julian Savea and Christian Cullen on the All Blacks’ all-time try scorers tally, announcing his retirement on social media in 2019. He finished his career with Racing 92 in Paris, where he has been for five seasons.
