Watch: Counties Manukau unveil special jerseys for clash with Wellington in honour of Jonah Lomu

September 13, 2018

The late All Blacks legend played for both provinces.

Jonah Lomu will be remembered on Saturday by his former province Counties Manukau when they take on another of the legendary All Blacks’ former teams, Wellington.

The Steelers have unveiled a special Jonah Lomu memorial jersey for their clash with the Lions when the two sides meet in Pukekohe.

Some of the 63-Test All Black's old teammates dropped in on Steelers training today to help with the unveiling and remember their friend.

“It’s a great time for Counties rugby,” former winger Joeli Vidiri said.

The jerseys, including the No.11 which will be worn by Tevita Nabura, will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
