Nonu knocked out of Final

Wednesday 22 Jun 2016

Nonu, 34, was knocked out in an accidental high-impact collision with compatriot Anthony Tuitavake in Toulon's 27-18 semifinal win over Montpellier.

He was immediately replaced having scored one of his team's tries and despite coming round, Toulon manager Bernard Laporte said that under current concussion protocols, Nonu has not had enough time to fully recover.

He will be replaced in Friday's final at Barcelona's Nou Camp stadium by powerful French centre Mathieu Bastareaud who will play alongside Maxime Mermoz.
