We can only assume a ‘no hand-offs’ rule applied.

The title of ‘best video game of all time’ is something that would inevitably spark plenty of debate, but as far we’re concerned there’s only one winner: Jonah Lomu Rugby on the original PlayStation. Sure, it might lack the fancy graphics and ridiculous attention to detail of modern day games, but we don’t think there’s a game that has acquired the cult status that it has, largely due to the simple gameplay and wonderful commentary of the late Bill McLaren. Who could forget lines like "like cattle trucks in a shunting yard" or "he was digging like a demented mole there.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OruaZcvGno4 Not everyone will agree with us, but it seems as if the Australian rugby team do, with Drew Mitchell putting a shout out on Twitter on Tuesday to see if there might be a copy doing the rounds in London. https://twitter.com/drew_mitchell/status/648977133168119808 Last night, Twitter delivered. https://twitter.com/giteau_rugby/status/649317191104483329 Even Sonny Bill Williams got in on the act. https://twitter.com/SonnyBWilliams/status/649168919098363904 Forget actual rugby, the remaining teams should have a Jonah Lomu tournament to determine the winner of the Rugby World Cup. Except nobody can pick New Zealand and there are no hand-offs allowed. Obviously.
