Jonah hints he might change codes

All Black giant Jonah Lomu is considering a career in rugby league, if he goes through with his plan to move to Britain after the 2003 World Cup.

Lomu will almost certainly retire from international rugby if New Zealand are crowned world champions and he wants to finish his career in this country where there would be no shortage of clubs lining up with lucrative offers for the game's most powerful winger.

Lomu said: 'That would be the scenario and hopefully it works out. It could be after 2003. My contract with New Zealand finishes two days after the World Cup is over and we'll see where I go from there.'

It was assumed Lomu would stay in union, but the 6ft 5in All Black hinted that he may be tempted to switch codes and play in Super League with Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors at the top of his list.
