Frank Bunce isn't surprised by the huge turnout to Jonah Lomu's Eden Park memorial as people came to pay their respects to the influential All Black.
"He's a guy that touched a lot of people on and off the field, you know, he made a difference," said Bunce.
"It's really nice that so many have come out to celebrate his life, because that's what today is all about.
"He was a giant on the field, but you'd come off the field and he was a hell of a nice guy, always had time for everybody and that's just the type of guy he was."
