Stupid and Impossible question

[ikaftl]

Be forewarned, this request for information has been left way to long for anyone to know what I'm talking about, so I apologise.
On a BBC sports programme, possibly Grandstand, there was an item about an All Blacks player who had had kidney trouble or something similar, a really class player. During this section there was some really class music playing which I haven't forgotten but I have no idea what it is.
It's probably heard on a lot of sports montages but it's hard to describe, sort of like:
dum, dum, dum, duuummm (and repeat), a four note increase type thing, with guitars and strings I think.
Any help would be most appreciated.

This is a complete guess,but your dum dum dum duuummmm sounds a bit like 'Air on a G String'.The Rugby player was Jona Lomu (I think).

TEAK36 is right, the player concerned was Jonah Lomu.

This site has always been good to me in the past.  Don't worry that it says Match Of The Day, as long as it was on the BBC on a sports programme you should get a reply, as I have previously for non MOTD questions.

can you give us more help? how fast was the four note rise? are the notes of equal length (your description makes it sound like the last note is longer...how much longer?) what instrument actually played the four note rise - guitars or strings or other? what pitch range does the four note rise span?
