Jonah Lomu was a relative unknown on the global rugby scene when he wreaked havoc on the footy field during the 1995 World Cup

In 2018, 23 years on, another unknown, Tongan actor Mosese Veaila, filled his formidable size 13 boots in Three’s mini-series, Jonah.

And now the first trailer has dropped and it looks amazing.

RUGBY QUIZ:

Carter named his all-time XV– and it is remarkable

Throughout his 18-year professional career, which started in New Zealand and ended in Japan, Carter played with and against some of the greatest players ever.

Here is the full team he selected:

BACK-THREE:

  • 15. Ben Smith (New Zealand)
  • 14. Bryan Habana (South Africa)
  • 11. Jonah Lomu (New Zealand)

Carter on Lomu: ““He was the toughest player. I played against him once, I was 19-year-old and tried to tackle him, kinda woke up five metres back. He changed the game of rugby.”

CENTRES:

  • 13. Brian O’Driscoll (Ireland)
  • 12. Ma’a Nonu (New Zealand)

Carter on O’Driscoll: “Two giants of the game that have worn the green jersey were Paul O’Connell and Brian O’Driscoll. Their work rate and how they conducted themselves on and off the pitch was exemplary.”
