#2. David Beckham

“I love rugby,” Beckham told the Radio Times in the run-up to the 2017 Lions tour. “I love watching it and I love the whole thing. I have enjoyed going to Twickenham more than I have enjoyed watching football I'd love to go on a Lions tour one day, but it's tough with my current commitments.”

#3. Robin Williams

Jonah Lomu met Williams at San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel in 1998 in a promotion organised by the New Zealand Rugby Union. It brought together the biggest name in rugby and one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and started an enduring friendship. They remained friends until Williams’ death in August 2014 aged 63.

#4. Jason Momoa

Eponymous star of the Aquaman movie Jason Momoa was cheering on the Kiwis at the Vancouver leg of World Rugby's sevens series at BC Place Stadium.
Attired in an old-school, non-branded All Blacks jersey from a distant era, Momoa roared the New Zealand sevens side on from the stands, and then met them in their dressing-room.
“It was a gift from my stuntman Glenn Ennis about 15 years ago when I was on Stargate Atlantis. He was captain for Canada and played against the All Blacks at the 1991 Rugby World Cup where he traded jerseys with the legendary Zinzan Brooke,” Momoa said.
“It is one of the greatest presents I have ever been given. I never leave home without it. It always travels with me.”
