NZ should harness Lomu's star power

Writing for Rugby Heaven, Duncan Johnstone praises the International Rugby Board for their use of All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu to help get the Olympics job done and urges the New Zealand Rugby Union to follow their lead.

"It should be an embarrassment to New Zealand rugby that we have done so little to acknowledge his presence beyond his All Blacks achievements. If ever there was an ambassadorial figure for the modern age it is Lomu.

"Yet he has been used little if not at all to promote the game in this country or promote the New Zealand rugby cause overseas. Lomu has matured into a fine man, comfortable to operate in the corporate surroundings as well as athletic environments."
