[QUOTE="ozzy, post: 108638"] It was most definitely not good to see Nonu back. This guy has sucked pretty much all year long and turned in another woeful performance last night. If you ask me the guy is getting fat. He badly needs another stint with the 7s team to get back some pace and fitness. He does not have the speed anymore which is important in combination with bulk to break tackles more regularly. Just look at Lomu. He didn't get any smaller and probably hasn't lost all that much strength, but his pace has been destroyed and because of it he can barely break a tackle from a 70kg wing. Piri was better than the other 2 fly halves but it's really disappointing to see him forced to play 10 because his coach is totally incompetent. I was watching the Hurricanes props closesly as well and was amazed at how lazy these 2 are. I think they are a big part of the reason the 'Canes have been owned by rolling mauls this year and have failed to secure clean ruck ball. They definitely lean on the physicality and work ethic of the back 3. [/QUOTE]
