Jonah Lomus wife Nadene has thanked Papua New Guinea for continuing her husband’s legacy and shared her husband’s life.

She said she would be sharing the experiences of the tournament with her two sons who could not make it to Papua New Guinea with her but acknowledged the invitation for her father Merv Quirk to be with her.

“I cannot wait to tell the little boys Dhyreille Lomu is six years old and Brayley Lomu is seven years old all the wonderful things I have seen and all the great people you are.

“While I am sorry our boys could not be here with us tonight but I acknowledge the invitation to have my father with me by my side,”

She said Jonah Lomu played the 1995 world cup with less than 60% health with no one knowing this but his doctors.

“We only got to see Jonah at 60% on a good day imagine what he could have been and what he could have done on a 100,”

She added that to live the legacy of Jonah Lomu was to listen to the messages that Lomu always shared when he was alive.

“If he (Jonah Lomu) was here talking to you all today he would say do what you love look after those you love and spend time with them for life is so precious.

“Believe, believe in yourself believe you can even if no one believes in you just believe and finally enjoy life and your family.

“How we honor his legacy to live by the messages I have shared we live them with Jonah the most exiting rugby player together we can make each of your dreams come through in growing rugby in this beautiful country,” Nadene Lomu said .
