I modeled my wing play on him.
Minus the speed, agility, and power of course, and the devastating effect.
Essentially I was a big fat bloke who ran straight over people, but in my mind I was channeling Jonah.

I grew up playing back row from almost my first game of rugby. By the time I was 14, I stopped growing and 5'11 10 stone flankers don't get far even in under 16's! So I moved out eventually settling on the right wing, but I never lost the desire the get in there and I was more than happy playing crash ball. My body wasn't too happy though.

As discussed before I think, as a kid I played scrum half because there was only me and the number 8 who really knew what we were doing. Against most teams we could control the games between us, against 'rugby schools' we got annihilated.
When I returned to the game as an adult my knees were shot so bending and turning were problems and I spent most of my time on the wing. I was surprisingly quick for a bloke of 6'2" and 19 stone (first open run of the game was almost always greeted with a cry of "sh*t he's quicker than he looks" from somewhere behind me) , and if the opposition wingers did manage to get in my way then I did enjoy running straight over the top of them.

Reminds me of one of NZ's long retired boxers who appeared on the celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
When asked to pick a letter he picked "O for awesome"
So if you ever ask a kiwi spell something out it would probably O for awesome rather than O for Oscar or Orange

I'm glad to see that film-makers are following in his tradition by releasing a slightly better version every two years or so.

Not even slightly?
I think even Woz disagrees.

I can't believe we've started naming them. I understand it in the US where they have storms of significant magnitude, but have we really started giving names to small gusts of wind? Next they'll be sponsoring them - today's wind was brought to you by Heinz Baked Beanz.
