Richie Mo'unga has plans to continue as an All Black

Richie Mo'unga has plans to continue as an All Black

5 July 2024

The 30-year-old is ineligible for national selection at present after signing a three-year deal to play in Japan.

He says his offshore stint is part of a wider strategy.

Back home for the test against England tomorrow night in Dunedin, there's trepidation from All Blacks vice-captain Ardie Savea.

He also spent part of the year playing in Japan on sabbatical but concedes the team's last match, the World Cup final in October, has brought hunger to the new era under coach Scott Robertson.

Live commentary tomorrow from 7.05pm on Newstalk ZB, Gold Sport and iHeartRadio.
