NEW Zealand rugby legend Jonah Lomu was on the ball in Worcester as he aimed to inspire the rugby players of the future.

With the All Blacks' tour now over, Lomu took time out to meet families and children from Acorns Children's Hospice.

He was also on hand to sign autographs yesterday for star-struck members of Worcester Rugby Club's junior section with more than 220 people turning out at the Sixways ground to meet the powerful winger.

Everyone who met the talented sportsman was asked to make a small donation towards the hospice to help boost the charity's coffers.

On this, his third visit to Worcester, Lomu was also promoting his new video and invited to give an after-dinner speech.
