When Jonah Lomu trampled over Tony Underwood in the World Cup semi-final in 1995, the greatest star rugby union has ever seen was launched on the world.

His size and pace seemed to make him unstoppable - and he was still just 20, having only recently learned to play on the wing.

How much better would he get? But a year later, a rare and serious kidney disorder threatened more than his career.
