The 42-year-old Ma’a Nonu marked his historic return to the French Top 14 with a powerful 20-minute cameo in Toulon’s clash at Castres.
Now the oldest player in league history, the 103-Test All Blacks centre showed he’s lost none of his strength and skill in a 28-26 loss for the visitors last week.
The two-time World Cup winner’s crisp pass set up Jiuta Wainiqolo’s late try, while his trademark runs from midfield proved he’s still a force in top-flight rugby.
