The perfect send-off.
Former All Blacks captain Buck Shelford lead a soul-stirring haka as former players gave Jonah Lomu an incredible send-off at his Eden Park's memorial service. As the New Zealand rugby legend's coffin was carried off stage, the crowd of thousands stood in silence as the former players performed the traditional war dance. Shelford then lead a collection of former players that included Jeff Wilson, Tana Umaga, Dallas Seymour in an emotional haka for the rugby icon who sadly died due to a suspected blood clot on his lung in Novmeber. He was 40-years-old. Watch the powerful performance in the video embedded below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrI_GW9DAfI&app=desktop https://twitter.com/LIVENewsDesk/status/671144911190626305?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwExplore more on these topics:
