Nonu says he is sorry about passionate speach
Hurricanes back Ma’a Nonu has apologised for a passionate radio outburst soon after the Rebel Sport Super 14 rugby defeat of the Chiefs on Saturday night.
Nonu completed an extraordinary interview soon after the match, won 33-27 in Wellington. The All Blacks second five-eighth was upbeat about his performance in the interview with NewstalkZB, having scored two tries, but today admitted he overstepped the mark.
“After a tough game there was a bit of emotion flying around,” he told reporters at Hurricanes training.
“I guess, being a professional sportsman you’ve got to be responsible for what you say. At the end of the day it hurts a lot of people.”
Hurricanes coach Colin Cooper said team management had applied a sanction on the 27-year-old but wouldn’t reveal specifics.
