- Ten years ago, the world of rugby lost perhaps its biggest icon.
Jonah Lomu, from the moment he broke onto the world's stage at the 1995 World Cup, was a talent who transcended the sport of rugby union. A global superstar unlike anything that came before.
From the moment he ran over Mike Catt, he captured the imagination. As his former Cardiff team-mate Xavier Rush explains, "you didn't have to be a New Zealand fan to enjoy that".
He was loved all over the globe, but there was always a special connection to Wales.

- Plaid Cymru's leader, Rhun ap Iorwerth, has said the latest poll putting his party on track to win the most seats in next May's Senedd election shows his party is the only way Reform UK can be beaten.
A poll by YouGov for ITV Cymru Wales/Barn Cymru puts Plaid Cymru with 30% of the vote, and Reform UK in second with 29%. Labour slump to just 14% of the vote share, which could translate to a low of 11 seats in the new-look 96 seat Parliament.
It would be a huge electoral defeat for Welsh Labour, and one some are now suggesting could put real pressure on Keir Starmer.
Speaking to WalesOnline, the Plaid Cymru leader said: "It's a very significant poll. It's showing Plaid Cymru in the lead again, but it's also showing a real collapse in support for Labour".
