Back after a short break - Tweet Treats returns to offer you an insight into the lives of rugby's rich and famous (ok, not in all cases).

Twitter continues to hit the headlines with the micro-blogging service at the heart of a story about Jonah Lomu this week. Rumours surfaced on the web that the All Blacks great had died of a heart attack in France. The hoax was swiftly denied by his club Marseille-Vitrolles but not before one fan called Amemait had lamented the loss with this priceless Tweet - "All my childhood idols are dying. Steve Irwin, Edmund Hillary, Jonah Lomu, that guy from Jaws."

Here's what the rest of the rugby world have been talking about on Twitter of late:
