South African here , damn i absolutely love these guys a guy like nonu who in my opinion is the most fearsome 12 the game has ever seen , aggressive , fast , great step, he got everything still has a chance to go to the world cup and i so 🤞🤣hope he does not cause he can still be a huge factor even in his age and also mills a one of the great fullbacks the game has ever produced, insane pace and all round game. Huge respect for these AB legends 🙌

[@RedLorryYellowLorry_]

This is my favourite All Black player, from a South African fan

[@kirwan1414]

best number 12 I've ever seen. Great passing game off either hand, breaks the line, pace, good defender, great vision, very good kicking game. Has there ever been a better 12? I don't think so. Tim Horan & Walter Little are in the conversation but I've got to give it to Nonu. STILL heads & shoulders above SBW despite being a few years older than him.

[@youtriggered_7436]

Damn havnt seen millz since being an AB. Legends

[@dariuswebb]

All time favourite player, miss him in the ABs

[@PRPLXD]

what a guy! such a down to earth bloke

[@clapadamclap]

hes come such a long way both personally and professionally, one of the most exciting players to pull on the black. 2015 he was a monster, and i honestly believe he can back it up in 2019..

Ma'a - Best from the USA. My Navajo wife and I call you "Ma' ii" (coyote, the trickster) out of respect and playfulness. It has been wonderful to see you grow up from a man-child into a devoted husband and father. You've done so very well, lad.

Coach Ma'a is such a great role model of rugby culture. The balance of elegant violence on the field and family priorities off it. We've experienced his desire to grow the game first hand and are better for it.
