The Lomu Family Honoured to be back at the McDonalds Fiji Coral Coast 7’s and Matai Wins Jonah Lomu Medal

Wife, Nadene Lomu and their two sons Brayley and Dhyreille are honoured to be back in Fiji to celebrate the 10th Anniversary and present the Jonah Lomu Medal. Nadene said the boys are very excited to be here again and are making new life long friends with the locals. There’s many locals that remember meeting the boys when they were alot smaller and have shared how much they love Jonah with us too so it’s pretty special.

Keeping Jonah’s Legacy Alive and us spending time with the wonderful Fijian rugby fans is something I know Jonah would be happy we are here, said Nadene.
”It’s an absolute privilege to be back and to meet many more wonderful people who have such a love for the game and our Jonah, really is something quite special. The boys and I have been welcomed with open arms and that I am truly grateful for as it’s been emotional returning without Jonah.”
