« A real life superstar | | FIFA World Cup lacks the emotion of RWC'95 » June 21, 2010 Posted on 06/21/2010 Tweet Treats - Volume XV
Watch out world - former All Black Jonah Lomu has vowed to give "this Twitter thing a good run" and is set to steamroller all-comers in the manner in which England's Mike Catt was despatched at Newlands in 1995. Perhaps the sport's only global superstar, Lomu surfaced at the weekend and soon had the fans flocking to get a glimpse inside the big man's world. For those not aware, he is currently plying his trade with Marseille in the south of France but remains a huge draw across the globe. Close on 2,000 followers in just a day or so - he has his sights set on Neemia Tialata's unofficial Twitter King crown (approx 4,000) but both have some way to go to eclipse the 10,000+ boasted by Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll (although his entries have a rather corporate feel) or the 30,000+ following the movements of former England captain Will Carling - my money is on Lomu returning to haunt old Bumface. Anyway, here's our latest selection of what rugby's Twitterati have been saying in the last couple of weeks: "Wasn't pretty, but winning is winning. Little one-per centers cost us some rhythm. Great thing about Rugga - next week we get another shot.." " just hanging in rm with @QuadeCooper watching an old Wallbies v All blacks test, think sharpe still has hair:" "I'm shattered. 2 days of shopping in Manhattan has killed me." "In the team room enjoying john fogarty getting abuse for having small unpleasant looking ears!!" "Thanx to the guys from SAA for getting me on my flight to East London even though I was very late!!" "Had an amazing day today!! Went shark diving which was unbelievable and then played with koalas and kangaroos!! Absolutely loved it!!" "Life hasn't been the same without the bok jersey .I am waiting for a breakthrough.I am not discouraged but faithful, Everyone is behind me." "Had a weird morning wrestling in Bondi with Mearsy, Worzel and Taity and was then treated to story time on the 389 by the Boosh. Pure gold!" "@JonahLomu11 that's soo good! Haha you tube mike Catt poor fulla!!" "I'm coming for the crown bra @neyza3 lol. 2000 by the morning tweeters?" Comments
