Usually mild-mannered Hurricanes second-five Ma'a Nonu let rip in a bizarre post-match interview laden with seven swear words following his side's win against the Chiefs on Saturday.

Minutes after the 33-27 win that kept the Hurricanes in playoff contention, Nonu took part in an interview with Radiosport in which he dropped seven f-bombs.

Radiosport sideline commentator asked Daniel McHardy asked "What's going through your mind that was an amazing game to watch what was it like to play in?"

Nonu replied: "It's one of these games that makes rugby so spectacular, after they got a lead of 24-8 or something, f*** we were on our tryline and f*** everyone didn't know what was hitting us, then 50 minutes later we came out on top and scored a f***** last minute try and get this f***** bonus point.

With laughter coming from the commentary box McHardy held his composure to ask Nonu whether he thought the season was gone when the Callum Bruce lined up a potential match winning penalty for the Chiefs.

Nonu continued with his expletive tirade.

"I never think our season is gone, I've always backed myself for this team and after I scored that fluke try I thought 'Mate we've got to f***** hold onto the ball in the last five minutes'.

"And then they get a penalty mate. Typical Hurricanes games mate....last minute penalty two minutes to go and it's like f*** it's all over again. We get a steal from our line and Hosea makes a big break beyond their line he misses the kick f***** score after the hooter's gone," he said.

The bizarre interview didn't end there. Despite swearing six times within a minute Nonu went on to say he plays for the kids.

McHardy: "Mate you should be a commentator. I think we've figured out your career".

Nonu: "I think one thing about commentator's mate is all those legends that have played, they've all become commentators. Me I play for the people and for the kids. I'll just spend some time at the TAB really".

The clip was played on Radiosport's breakfast show this morning with host Mark Richardson querying whether Nonu was genuine, saying 'clearly someone has had to put him up to that'.
