The Wellington rugby side is confident it will have All Black Ma'a Nonu back to play for them on Saturday week.

Initially Nonu was ruled out of the entire competition but Wellington coach Andre Bell says with the team fighting to survive in the top division of the ITM cup for next year they're working hard to get Nonu back on the field.

Andre Bell says they're also talking to Conrad Smith about the possibility of him joining the side for the last two must win games.

Piri Weepu and Victor Vito are definitely back for Sunday's match against North Harbour, but Corey Jane has to be cleared of a foot injury before he takes the field.
