Former All Blacks superstar Ma’a Nonu will run out for the Sharks against the country which he represented with such distinction.

All Blacks legend Ma’a Nonu will be a major talking point when the Sharks take on New Zealand in Tuesday’s Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour clash at Kings Park.

Nonu, who has swapped the famous black jersey of New Zealand for the black-and-white of the Sharks, will play off the bench after signing a short-term deal with the Durban franchise.

At 42, Nonu’s age stands in stark contrast to much of the Sharks squad — particularly the backline he has been brought in to help mentor.

There are four Junior Springboks in the backline, along with a young Blitzbok, as the Sharks have opted to give a host of exciting youngsters a taste of the big time against the All Blacks.
