Jonah Lomu Tribute

In memory of Lomu - Joseph’s recollection

He said this in an interview during the tribute organized by the PNG Rugby Union and the New Zealand High Commissioner.

Although he never faced Lomu on the field, Joseph said he was privileged to have watched the man in action during his prime.

Joseph recalls how the PNG Pukpuks were grouped in the same pool and set to clash with the All Blacks, which included Lomu, during the 1998 Kuala Lumpar games Sevens tournament. 

However, the absence of the Namibian Sevens team to the Games forced a reshuffle and PNG and New Zealand never faced off.
