Has Jonah Lomu ever been dump tackled?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
Whenever I search for it on Google or YouTube it just comes up with him tackling other people. Has anyone ever dump tackled him, or at least put in a big hit? If so, do you have a link to a video? Thanks!Whenever I search for it on Google or YouTube it just comes up with him tackling other people. Has anyone ever dump tackled him, or at least put in a big hit?

Did Campese lift Lomu in the air and throw/drive him down ? No he did not. Perhaps during his schoolboy rugby days but he was only a year or so out when on debut for the All Blacks so its iffy. Id go with the JCB / Bobcat idea for a one on one dump tackle on Lomu. If there was someone out there who couldve lifted Lomu while he was at pace and droped him like a filthy habit that man would be a legend.

Two tackles spring to mind. Nth harbour strongman Richard Turner poleaxed Jonah in a NPC game in 94 ( to be fair Jonah was only 19 years old then) But the following year after Lomu became a superstar at the RWC in SA ---- during a Bledisloe cup game Wallaby flanker Daniel Manu cut Jonah in half at the legs and put him on his backside. Other than these two tackles on Jonah not many opponents were capable of dump tackling him because he was massive !. Now if you want a list of how many players Johah bowled over...!!

Yes if you have a JCB handy it might have happened

Yess, I've seen David Campese pull him down a few times.
