Habana pays tribute to 'fearless' Lomu

The 40-year-old died at his home in Auckland. 

Lomu became rugby's first real super-star after setting the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa alight. 

Past and current players, administrators and the general public have expressed their sadness at his passing. 

Stars from the world of rugby and beyond continue to pay their respects to the legend.

Here is Habana's Insta tribute: 

''His on field fearlessness was matched by his off field humility. So sad to wake to the news of @JONAHTALILOMU's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. It was a privilege to have met you, to have been inspired by you and to watch you make the biggest impact we have ever seen on the game we love so dearly #GameChanger #GlobalSuperstar #RIPJonahLomu????

The South African Rugby Union has also paid its condolences to the Lomu family, his friends and the New Zealand public as a whole. 

Lomu was a guest at the SARU Player of the Year Awards earlier this year. 

SARU president Oregan Hoskin says Lomu had a special place in South African hearts because of the connection made during the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
