The rugbyball inside the coffin
Rather gave the game away
As a diehard rugbywarrier
Determined to play on in future days
Believing there was more than one Hin Heaven
At the ends of astral turf grounds
And that the RugbyUniverse Cup
Was still in its early rounds
After a lifetime that had seemed eighty minutes
With a body clock now in the red
Jonah Lomuscored his last mortal try
Touching his head down on mother earth's bed
