Ma’a Nonu has officially departed the San Diego Legion. The All Blacks centurion has returned to France, signing on with Toulon until the end of the of the 2020-2021 Top 14 season. It’s his second stint at the club having played there from 2015-2018.
At 38 years old Nonu should be in the twilight of his career but remained in outstanding form for the Legion during his short-lived stay in Major League Rugby. He started four games for San Diego in 2020, scoring three tries including a double in his final outing against NOLA.
The Legion have already signed another big name in former England captain Chris Robshaw though he is not a like-for-like replacement. A new midfielder may not be required if JP du Plessis returns. Already set to continue in 2021 are internationals Dylan Audsley, Ryan Matyas, and Josh Thiel.
