Toulon head coach Patrice Collazo said former New Zealand centres Ma a Nonu and Isaia Toeava are at ease with each other ahead of hosting Clermont in the French Top 14 this Sunday.
Nonu returned to the club on a short-term deal in November after Toeava, who can play across the back-line, had joined the three-time European champions for the new campaign.
The pair featured 20 times together at Test level and spent a season with the Blues in Super Rugby before Toeava s departure for the Canon Eagles in Japan s Top League in 2012.
