The Jonah Lomu 1999 Polo pays tribute to one of the most dominant and awe-inspiring performances in Rugby World Cup history. Inspired by Jonah Lomu’s legendary achievements during the 1999 Rugby World Cup, this polo celebrates his unmatched power, speed, and passion for the game. During that tournament, Jonah Lomu scored a record-breaking eight tries — the most ever scored in a single World Cup at that time. Moreover, his extraordinary display of athleticism and strength made him the most feared and respected player on the field.
Furthermore, Lomu’s unstoppable runs and fearless attitude captured the hearts of rugby fans across the globe. In the semi-final against England, he once again showcased his ability to change a game single-handedly, breaking through the defense and powering over the line to score. As a result, the 1999 World Cup solidified his reputation as a true global icon of the sport.
A Family Collaboration that Preserves Jonah’s Legacy
The Jonah Lomu 1999 Polo collection has been developed in close collaboration with Jonah’s family — his late wife Nadene and sons Brayley and Dhyreille. They remain deeply involved in keeping Jonah’s memory and legacy alive. Additionally, they have expressed great excitement about their partnership with Ellis Rugby and have praised its thoughtful, heritage-driven approach to design.
In addition to celebrating Jonah’s sporting excellence, this collaboration reflects the family’s wish to honour both his rugby career and his proud cultural roots. Consequently, every detail of the Jonah Lomu 1999 Polo has been crafted to reflect Jonah’s values of strength, humility, and pride.
