On 4 June 2005,the same day as the British and Irish Lions kick off their tour in New Zealand, Martin Johnson and Jonah Lomu will meet head to head at
Twickenham Stadium for what will be Martin Johnson CBE, legendary Leicester
Tigers and ex England Captain's, last competitive game of rugby. And what a way to go out!

has won just about every honour going - including leading his country to World
Cup victory in 2003.
Jonah the youngest ever All Black and a legendary winger, will embark on what is
being talked about as one of the biggest sporting comebacks of all time. It will
be his first international game after almost three years having been sidelined
by a serious kidney disease he’s battled for more than a decade and eventually lead to a kidney transplant.
The Johnno v Jonah testimonial match will see Jonah lead out a southern
hemisphere team taking on a northern hemisphere team led by Johnno. Each side
will field some of the biggest names in rugby, with players from around the
world keen to acknowledge the contribution each player has made to the game.
