JONAH LOMU, who played practically all his first-class rugby while ill with a kidney disease, has set his sights on an international comeback against England at Old Trafford this November in the first of two matches New Zealand will play in England.

"My dream is to be back wearing the number 11 shirt in the All Black team and the first big date is October 30th when the team to tour England is announced," said the 21-year-old who decided to stop playing in January to treat a disease called nephrotic syndrome which could have caused chronic kidney damage.
