New Zealand playmaker Richie Mo'unga announced on Monday he will take up a three-year Japan club deal after next year's Rugby World Cup, potentially ending his career in Tests and Super Rugby.Both 28-year-olds will leave sizeable holes to fill after making regular Test appearances this year, although Mo'unga will be most keenly missed by New Zealand supporters.
Crusaders coach Scott Robertson described Mo'unga as"one of the most influential Super Rugby players ever" and a central part of the team's streak of six successive titles since 2017."The Crusaders have been my life for ever, even before I joined the team it was my life, dreaming of being part of the family," he said in a statement.
In 94 games for the Crusaders, Mo'unga has scored 1 010 points to sit seventh on Super Rugby's all-time scorer list."Through his performances in the biggest games, the biggest moments - he stood up," Robertson said.
