My name is Ollie and this week we have been learning about famous New Zealanders. My famous New Zealander was Jonah Lomu, We learnt about them and what they did to become famous. Then we put it on a goggle doc here’s mine.
Jonah Lomu
Jonah Lomu is a famous New Zealander. He played for the All Black’s sevens and fifteens for New Zealand. Jonah was named the youngest person to play for the All blacks in 1994 when he played against France at the age of 19. When he played he was the winger for most of his time he also played number eight sometimes. Did you know that Jonah broke the record for the most tires scored in a world cup? That’s why I think Jonah Lomu is the best All black ever.
Jonah Lomu was born on the 12th May 1975 in Auckland. When he was growing up he was exposed to a lot of gang violence. The primary school he went to was Favona primary school. His mother Hepi Lomu sent him to Wesley College where he excelled in sports.
Jonah Lomu has always loved rugby. Jonah played rugby when he was in school like primary school. When he started taking rugby seriously was when it was his last year of college. Jonah played league for some time then switched to rugby. He played for New Zealand fifteens and sevens. I think Jonah is one of the best rugby players of all time.
Eventually Jonah Lomu achieved his biggest accomplishment. There are a few so I’ll say them all. In 1999 Jonah had broken a record for eight tries scored in one World Cup. He had also broken a record for youngest test player to play for the all blacks in 1994. Jonah Lomu also broke the record for most tries scored in a career tournament.
In conclusion Jonah Lomu retired. Jonah Lomu has been one of the best rugby players of all time. Jonah Lomu retired and married Fiona Lomu and had two kids their names are Bradley and Dyerellie. I think Jonah Lomu was one of the most successful rugby players of all time. I think I did really good, What about you?
