Richie Mo'unga was just as impressive when was 18 as he is now | Rugby Highlights

RugbyPass took a look back in the archives this week. New Zealand rugby star Richie Mo'unga played for St Andrews in Christchurch at school. This match shows just how much of a general he was for his side at the tender age of 18. #RugbyHighlights

His kicking game is miles ahead of anyone at that age

[@Sircharlesbailey]

I’m just impressed with the quality of commentary for a school game back then. Seriously impressive. SA school commentary could learn a thing or two

[@officialsjc4423]

You can see the potential in mo’nuga at this phase in his career. Not quiet like Tupow or McKenzie with their old schoolboy highlights. But it just goes to show you how much work a dedication he put in to get to the point he’s at now.

[@lukec2226]

Great to see him so confident at that age. I am really worried for the ABs next year. The only players who flourished this year have been the ones that thrive on broken play (eg, Reiko, Will), because unfortunately the total lack of a game plan means that is all they have to play with. Some of the Crusaders guys are not at their best with the Hurricanes B team style that the ABs play.

you gotta be a coach with that pin point accuracy lol

It's kind of understandable tbh it's not really a big part of nz culture outside of sports and Maori people it's kind of an embarrassing obligation for most players, it certainly was the case when I was playing school rugby, but who knows these days it may have improved somewhat

Not overly special for 18yrs old. Sorry but these highlights are filled with stoppage play and goal kicks and general kicks that end up with nothing…y’all need to play Rugby League.

Sorry to say but Rugby League is on life support….lolzzz…it’s a matter of time before the RLWC will jump start it for 2months then its back to a coma.

@@mrpauli8944 Your joking right? It is Australian Rugby Union that is on life support. Rugby Union is aired on what channel now? Stan 😂. Anybody who is anybody knows that Rugby Union is fraud…if the Australian Rugby League talent was played Union instead no other country would even come close; but Union attracts nobody here because there is no money there because there is no tv rights because the game is that boring. So, sorry what were you saying? 😆

@@mrpauli8944 Yeah no doubt world wide. But it’s not that Rugby League is dying world wide it’s just that it hasn’t grown yet. Rugby Union is the old boring game that was taken to many countries a very long time ago; Rugby League just hasn’t been given the chance yet. Rugby Union will never be a powerhouse in Australia because we know how much Rugby League is a superior game. Honestly; athletes in Australia look at Union as a plan B or C if they can’t make the NRL. The game is near bankrupt and I’m surprised covid didn’t kill it 😂.
