All Blacks wing Julian Savea feels unstoppable when he’s at his best.

But even then, he says he’ll never be like Jonah.

Savea attracted questions from a large media group on Tuesday about his remarkable tryscoring record ahead of the Test against England on Saturday.

And there were more queries on the recent trend to compare him with former All Blacks great Jonah Lomu.

Both topics were swatted aside like defenders trying to halt the strapping No.11, who has scored 29 tries in 30 Tests.

Two tries against the United States in Chicago last week lifted Savea into the top-10 for New Zealand, level with five-eighth Dan Carter and former wing Sitiveni Sivivatu.

He attributed his strike rate against England – eight tries from four Tests – as simply bad luck for the English.

However, the 24-year-old admits he now feels more comfortable in Test rugby, having flicked the switch mentally about a year ago.

“It’s all about confidence. I guess when you find that and you get into your stride, you feel unstoppable,” he said.

A debate comparing the merits of Savea and Lomu was sparked last month when All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said he rated Savea the better left wing.

Savea was sheepish, but appeared to appreciate the chance to voice his opinion on a topic which created headlines in New Zealand.

“For Steve to say that, it was an honour and a privilege,” he said.

“But for me no one is better than Jonah. He changed the game back in his era. I think he inspired a lot of kids as well.”

Savea says Lomu’s four tries against England in the 1995 World Cup semi-final at Cape Town was one of his earliest rugby memories.

Lomu finished his career with eight tries against the English from seven Tests.

“He was my idol when I was growing up, I had his haircut,” he said.

“No one’s ever going to be better than Jonah, he’s one in a million.”
