Nonu hints at shock code change

All Blacks centre Ma’a Nonu has dropped a bombshell on the rugby world by saying he would be willing to switch codes and play rugby league in Australia after next year’s World Cup.

Nonu was in Sydney at the weekend for a charity beach-football competition featuring a host of rugby stars, and after rubbing shoulders with some of the best players in the National Rugby League, the All Blacks centre told reporters he would be interested in playing the game professionally in Australia.
