All Black second five Ma'a Nonu is sidestepping questions about a possible move south to play Super Rugby.

The Highlanders are understood to be very interested in getting Nonu to follow All Black team mate Tony Woodcock to the franchise.

Nonu's downplaying a shift to Dunedin.

He says Dunedin is a great city and he might be tempted if some of the Highlanders boys left some flowers in his room, but ultimately it's just talk at this stage.

Nonu is contracted to the Blues for next year's Super Rugby competition.
