I call rubbish on this. As a seasoned player in both domestic and international, he's one of the greatest players to ever play #12 the only problem is his attack is too predictable now and he needs to switch it up. If you play close attention to the Highlanders games it's not only him but the forwards are struggling and Colin Slade hasn't produced anything since the build up to the RWC11 so unless he does anything about it then it'll be Carter/Cruden/Barrett being the top choices for fly half. It's funny how we all (by that I mean all the Wellingtonians) hated Mark Hammett, now we're eating a lot of humble pie lol!
Its a load of nonsense. Nonu has joined two struggling teams, Blues and Highlanders, in the last two years. Both teams have had deficiencies in key positions -- Blues last year in the 8, 9, and 10 positions and the Highlanders in the loose forwards department. These problems are hardly Nonus fault and they haven't helped him play his natural blockbusting game. Admittedly Nonu was ordinary against the Blues ( and reckless ! ) but he is still the best 2nd Five in Nz rugby at the moment.
