Dhyreille Jonah Lomu, who currently plays on the wing, was born in France during his Dad's brief stint playing for Marseille, hence any eligibility discussions wouldn't be an issue.

Despite being 14, he's already played in older teams as his obvious talent is beginning to shine through.
Lomu's stint in France came towards the end of the his career, which also included a period with the Cardiff Blues in Europe.
Tragically, Lomu died in November 2015. Playing on the wing Lomu finished his international career with 63 caps and 37 tries. He is regarded as the first true global superstar of rugby and consequently had a huge impact on the game.
