Jonah Lomu moved to New Zealand with his family when he was just 5 years old, after being born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1975. He grew up in the suburb of Mt. Wellington and later became one of the most famous rugby players in the world. His exceptional talent was recognized early on, leading to his debut for the All Blacks in 1994.

Jonah Lomu and Bryan Habana both have 8 tries in A Rugby World Cup. According to me Jonah Lomu is the best rugby player of all time. I believe that 8 tries was his own.
Jonah Lomu even tho he is not playing anymore is worth about NZ11 million dollars Lote Tuqiri will be offered a $1 million base salary as part of a record-breaking deal to keep him in rugby union until the 2011 World Cup.
Though of Tongan descent, Jonah grew up in New Zealand and attended a South Auckland high school. Rugby union is New Zealand's most popular sport and every school fields a number of teams so it was natural for someone of Jonah's size and strength to end up playing rugby. Jonah was selected for representative sides while still at school and became one of our youngest All Blacks. Being so physically large and strong, he would have excelled at any number of sports but rugby was what he knew and had always been successful at.
There are no internationally famous Tuvaluans to my knowledge. The most prominent statesmen are Sir Toaripi Lauti and Sir Tomasi Puapua, both of whom served as Prime Minister and later Governor-General.
