Rugby great Jonah Lomu, the game's first global superstar whose speed and power terrorised opponents, died unexpectedly on Wednesday aged 40 with tributes pouring in for "a legend of the game".

Lomu had for decades battled the kidney disease that ended his playing career, but close acquaintances said his death still came as a shock.

He passed away suddenly at his Auckland home, family spokesman John Mayhew said.
