By Campbell BurnesThis weekend's French Top 14 final will feature the two richest clubs in the country doing battle in Paris but All Blacks centre Ma'a Nonu might not be there after suffering a horrendous head-on collision in the semifinals. The former All Blacks midfielder scored a try, but was later helped off after collision with Montpellier centre Anthony Tuitavake. Their last was in 1990 when under the Racing Club de France guise, when Franck Mesnel ran the cutter and they ran out for the 1987 final wearing bow ties. Carter himself was on the podium with Perpignan in 2009 when the southern club won the Top 14, but he was on the injured list after tearing his Achilles tendon. He chalked up 16 points with the boot, with his Kiwi teammates Joe Rokocoko - who scored a try - Ben Tameifuna and Chris Masoe alongside him.
