@nzzp I remember Nonu in 2007, well.
On the Fern, there was just me and a guy called Mojo who still thought he might be worth a shot in the 2007 RWC squad. And then he came off the bench on the wing against some team - and he was terrible.
Even me and Mojo had to concede he wasn't up to it.
Someone (and I can't recall who - in case they're still here) wrote, "Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out, Nonu"! ![:) 🙂](https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f642.png?v=aq6p629ati6)
I saw us play Wales in Cardiff in '10 when SBW was subbed at half-time after Jamie Roberts had exposed him a little. Up close you noticed how good Nonu was at tying up defenders in just the right position on the field and creating space from that. A real skill.
Something Jordie with his size can work on.
