When he moved on to high school he played forward and was his team's top scorer. At 19, he became the youngest player ever to don the All-Blacks uniform when he wore the New Zealand jersey in a match against France. Jonah's career took off from there. At the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa, Jonah was named player of the tournament as he led the All Blacks to the World Cup. In the semi-finals, Jonah was a ravager of a man, scoring four tries against England. Jonah had made a name for himself as the best rugby player in the world. His success at the World Cup also made Jonah a very rich guy. He was offered money to play rugby in England and was even asked to play football in the NFL. Jonah rejected those offers to continue playing the sport in New Zealand. But the great giant's career took a turn for the worse in 1996. Doctors told him he had a rare and serious kidney disease. Jonah had to take almost an entire year off from playing. He could not play rugby due to the drugs he took to fight the disease.
