n1n1 R/UNION: LOMU STAYS
/.%/.%/, A KIWI
#######################################
Jonah Lomu has agreed a four year
contract with the New Zealand Rugby
Union ending speculation of a switch to
Rugby League.
The All Black winger rejected lucrative
offers to change codes following a
series of stunning displays during the
World Cup in South Africa.
"They've come up with something that's
made me happy and I wanted to stay with
rugby. I'm staying but we've still got
negotiations to work through," he said.
The deal will bind Lomu until the end
of the 1999 World Cup but financial
details have not been disclosed.
