Nonu Munster move unlikely

MUNSTER’S interest in signing New Zealand legend Ma’a Nonu has been put on hold and it’s now apparent he won’t figure in their plans for at least another 18 months, if at all.

Speculation in New Zealand media last week appears off the mark, although Munster have made serious enquiries about his availability.

Reports in New Zealand on Saturday claimed Nonu was ready to join former All Black colleague Doug Howlett with the two-time European champions after next year’s World Cup, but it’s not going to happen according to Munster’s top source.
