Writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, Duncan Johnstone looks toward this weekend's titanic clash between the two contenders for the All Blacks 12 spot - Sonny Bill and Nonu.
"Let's hope Sonny Bill Williams' hip injury doesn't prevent him from finally matching up against Ma'a Nonu this weekend - a personal clash that has had plenty of spice added to it over the past week and one that the All Blacks selectors will take huge interest in.
Both players look All Blacks certainties for the Tri-Nations and World Cup.
But who starts at No 12 is far less certain."
