A special performance of the haka formed part of the memorial service for Jonah Lomu at Eden Park National Stadium
New Zealand has paid homage to former rugby union star Jonah Lomu with a special memorial service that included a rendition of the haka in Lomu's honour.
The service was held at the Eden Park National Stadium in Auckland and the traditional Maori dance was performed as Lomu's casket was carried out.
Lomu, who is of Tongan descent, is remembered as a giant of the modern game and one of the superstars who led rugby union from an amateur to a professional game.
