Ma'a Nonu

New Zealand two-time World Cup-winning centre whose extraordinary longevity, physical power and consistent excellence across nearly two decades of international rugby made him one of the most decorated players in All Blacks history.

Ma'a Nonu was New Zealand's powerful centre and two-time World Cup winner whose exceptional carrying, offloading, and physical dominance in midfield made him one of the most complete centres in world rugby. His partnership with Conrad Smith was central to the All Blacks' dominance throughout the 2010s. Despite playing in international rugby's most physically demanding position, he maintained an extraordinary standard for over a decade.
