All Blacks great Ma’a Nonu to face New Zealand in Sharks debut

Ma’a Nonu, the accomplished 44-year-old center and double World Cup winner for New Zealand, is set to take the field against his former team, the All Blacks, when the Sharks debut in their second match of the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry tour. The 103-time All Black appeared in Nonu's 103 appearances for the Sharks between 2003 and 2015.

Nonu will serve as a bench player as the Sharks field a youthful lineup, featuring Springboks Vincent Koch, Vusi Moyo, and Vincent Tshituka. Prop Nemo Roelofse returns from his playing stint in France and starts in the front row. The match is part of the All Blacks' tour, where they will face four South African provincial teams and play four tests against the Springboks, marking their first tour of South Africa in 30 years.
