Not really, SBW was clearly a big part of it but there was still plenty to be done, he had to step two guys and sprint 20 meters to get over. Not like he was passed the ball at the try line unmarked.
You could take out about 5 of these tries and replace them with moments when he tore the opposition apart but didn't score. Would be much more impressive.
Born in 1999 but best centre I’ve ever watched. Watched O’Driscoll, Davies, Giteau, Conrad Smith, SBW etc. Never seen someone so elite. Has everything. He’s what Tuilagi should’ve become if injuries hadn’t stopped him.
For real man. Every time I see the 2015 team in action I think of all the legends who moved on after that. Still feeling that gap in the midfield though, and the balance of loosies isn't right either.
This is more a showcase for the ABs backline at the time Nonu was playing. Stone good stuff from Nonu here sure; one or two of his best moments... but this is hardly a vid all about Nonu.
Like his name meaning "ROCK" in the Samoan Language...He was the ROCK in the mid-field for so long in the All Black's and stayed SOLID in this position in the top game for over a Decade.....Hence why he is choosen as the All Black's #12 in the A.B's team of the Century. LEGEND ☝☝☝☝
I still remember the match against Argentina in 2011.... it was painful to watch everytime he had the ball, and each charge felt like watching a bulldozer
Idk, these are some rather rubbish highlights of Nonu. He's had a long career & has scored some superb tries... These highlights don't even come close to showcasing his skill & power.
@@corz7263 2015 is kinda alright,but in 2011,the all blacks knew that the boks would win then and what happened in the quarters????? The ref let australia win,i mean that game is a joke,and 2011 final,just look at the cleanouts and offside from the all blacks UNACCEPTABLE
Seeing Carlos Spencer, Justin Marshall and Byron Kelleher in this video really brought home just how long Nonu has been at the top.
Yeah forgot how well Nonu gelled with Spencer

Nonu has been through the great eras
Sbw was one of the best distributing centres ever. He created so much for his team mates. Himself and nonu were lethal together
Yes indeed
I mean... that first one was all SBW
Was it?

The sunny bill and ma'a nonu combo!! Baaawwgawd they were so underrated, they are both once in a generation type of players.

Exactly I felt these highlights were only based on him getting a try
Ma'a and Sonny-Bill are one of the best rugby duo partnerships..
Nonu and smith
I think you mean the SBW and Nonu attacking Duo

The AB's after 5 years have yet to replace Nonu and Smith...

And McCaw , and Kaino, and Reid and Carter , missing Retallick is a huge blow too.
Never will !
Have faith in the youngsters coming up. These old guys developed a bond in time in playing together.
How many times did you hear Sonny Bill?
56
Ma'a Nonu Man My I.D.O.L And he is such a legend
The best combos of all time nonu and sbw
His stand out performances were the 2011 and 2015 World cups. Untouchable.
This is more a showcase for the ABs backline at the time Nonu was playing. Stone good stuff from Nonu here sure; one or two of his best moments... but this is hardly a vid all about Nonu.
What about the time he set up the last minute try in South Africa with one boot on !!!!
let's face it, we all knew what was coming at #1
I agree, excellent rugby from the greatest player ever!
2:50 tackle was pretty solid tho...
Nonu, smith and sbw were so strong man. Could easily interchange players depending on gameplan or opposition.

Beautiful just beautiful
GOAT 🔥🔥
I still remember the match against Argentina in 2011.... it was painful to watch everytime he had the ball, and each charge felt like watching a bulldozer
I remember watching that match, every time Nonu had ball in hand and had his head down charging, the ground would shake
SBW always the catalyst 😂
Unstoppable ..... except in the four tries where he had to offload because he'd been stopped.
Stopped, but not shut down
He helped stop the other team from winning so yes unstoppable!
Ma'a Nonu💪
He's the best at midfielders
レジェンド！👏
All Blacks🖤🖤🖤
Love rugby wow!
The best 12 ever
Basically Tana Umagas baby
Best 2nd5 in alk blacks history dread lock rasta
All time best RWC 12? Or Tim Horan? Or pair the, at in the centre?
greatest centre ever imho
so king !!!
Nahh SBW by far better in a Nonu compilation lol😂
Apparently it was like trying to tackle rhino.
Sbw underrated
Different back line to now 2022
Saved the best for last🏉
All blacks 💪
Que mal elegiste las corridas salvo la última. Tiene tantas buenas.
Should be renamed - New Zealand BEAST MODE
The first one isn't really anything special, anyone could have scored it as SBW did nearly all of the work
maa is best und fek this keybord soz
Exactly like the Jason Robinson video - these are not nearly his best highlights!!! Show some respect
Nothing against the Bokke?
Not in a World Cup but there was that try assist in the tri nations where he shut the whole crowd up in SA lol
Honestly a mid selection of highlights for a player like Ma’a Nonu
This is the worst video you can make about nonu
Idk, these are some rather rubbish highlights of Nonu. He's had a long career & has scored some superb tries... These highlights don't even come close to showcasing his skill & power.
It will take forever to build another Israel Dagg..yeah forever
Id rather say the refs won the 2011 and 2015 world cups for the all blacks😂😂
2011 for sure. 2015 is a reach
Nope all blacks won both fair and square close one in 2011 and were unmatched in 2015
