Ma’a Nonu and James Haskell once had a serious bromance

With no rugby on, we have been trawling the archives to see if there has been anything from the past that you would find interesting. This old bromance between Nonu and Haskell is amazing.

Many rugby fans will know about the banter that James Haskell and Ma’a Nonu had a few years back.

But this looks like an entirely more wholesome rugby bromance in the World of rugby!

Ma’a Nonu and James Haskell both were on the same team for the Ricoh Black Rams in 2011.

It looks like they got on very well back when they were teammates.

Legendary All Black and two time World Cup winner Ma’a Nonu was on sensational form for the San Diego Legion on his All Blacks debut this weekend. He destroys everything!

The 39-year-old centre still has what it takes to make it at the top as he sparked the performance that the American team needed to get the win.

The 103-test All Blacks joined the San Diego Legion in Major League Rugby, after a single year back on home shores with the Blues.

The All Black is a huge coup for the American League and it seems the hype around him is already being justified as he put on a show for the San Diego fans…

It’s great to see the All Black legend doing so well in the League.

Another star centre that is is playing Major League Rugby this year is Mathieu Bastareaud, who is not enjoying the same kind of success that Nonu did on his debut.

Many commented on how large that the Frenchman had got and it seemed to many fans that he was not in the right shape even at this level.

Nonu returned to New Zealand for the 2019 Super Rugby season sparking discussion over whether or not he would be able to challenge for a spot in the All Blacks Rugby World Cup squad.
