Nicknamed "rock", Nonu's line-breaking ability and aggressive crash-ball running angles led to his emergence as one of the most effective inside-centres in the world game during his time with the Hurricanes.

Nonu made his All Blacks debut against England in 2003, at a time when New Zealand were blessed with some of the best three-quarter options in the world. Tana Umaga, Aaron Mauger and Dan Carter beat Nonu to selection for the Tri-Nations, before he forced his way into the All Blacks' 2003 World Cup squad.

Nonu played pool games against Canada, Italy and Tonga but fears over his defensive frailties meant that he was overlooked for urval in the knock-out stages.

During the following Super 12 season Nonu suffered a dip in form that led to his exclusion from the 2004 Tri-Nations squad, although improved struktur during the NPC for Wellington ensured four substitute appearances during the All Blacks' undefeated europeisk tour later that year.
