Jonah Lomu died after a long battle with kidney disease

Jonah Lomu, 40, passed away unexpectedly in the early hours of Wednesday, NZ Rugby chief executive Steve Tew confirmed. Jonah was said to have been battling a rare kidney disorder called Nephrotic syndrome.
'We're all shocked and deeply saddened at the sudden death of Jonah Lomu,' Tew said.
'We're lost for words and our heartfelt sympathies go out to Jonah's family. Jonah was a legend of our game and loved by his many fans both here and around the world.'
Lomu arrived back in Auckland on Tuesday night from England - where he had been working at the Rugby World Cup - and had spent a few days in Dubai on the way home with his family.
