Rob Andrew on Jonah Lomu: 'We just couldn't stop him'

Rob Andrew has joined the rugby world in paying tribute to Jonah Lomu following his death at the age of 40.

The former England international was part of the side which lost to Lomu's New Zealand team in the 1995 Rugby World Cup.

He told 5 live: "He was a humble, gentle giant, a great ambassador for the sport, and a blooming nightmare to play against.

"We just couldn't stop him in '95. He was just this 20-year-old truck that was actually quite quick and elusive."
