Jonah’s gone, and the memory lingers on as an
echo of what used to be; there’s no denying, he
changed Rugby forever. For a few short years -
a panacea needed no-matter where you’d been
and he made sense - on-field a glory we’d need
believe in, reincarnation of what Heaven means
when wingers match each other’s pretence and
he redefined what excellence actually meant
And then an Ambassador beyond duty; & when
we learned his acute renal disease really didn’t
see the connection between his commitment &
an obligation to be true to who he really was; a
prince without portfolio - and yet we’re about to
be inundated with all of the traumatic evidence
