#= NPEC Cap number
*= NEW CAP # allocated as they come onto field,Faifale Levave, there’s an old name from the past. Did I even spell it right ? One of those big hard running looses who seemed to vanish from the scene, until now.

Imagine being the starting 12 with Nonu sitting on the bench.
No pressure!
For East Coast or Buller?

How many bags of kina would you give to have Ma'a Nonu play for your local footy team? #NPEC #HeartlandRugby

Halftime NP East Coast lead Buller 24-5, three tries to one.
NP East Coast halfback Sam Parkes has two of the tries in his 50th game.

Ma'a Nonu and Hosea Gear on after 60 minutes.
Gear to wing, Nonu to centre.
NP East Coast lead 43-12.
Faifili Levave on at same time.
Are they still on the huge losing streak?
-
@machpants Yeah, lost their last 54 Heartland games. Last Heartland win v Poverty Bay in 2013.

@number-10 Great to see that their losing streak is finally over! And all that already achieved before Gear, Nonu and Levave came on.

Yeah, I wonder how much having them in and around has given the team a lift
-
@machpants yea i reckon just training with them, learning from them and knowing they were behind you would have been a huge boost.
Listen to any of these guys that have been at that level and the clarity with which they can deliver the message and get that little bit more from people.
