So humble, he is a fantastic player been watching him from South Africa. Crusaders star player and general.
Yet, a lot of the Crusaders players aren't playing well at all.
Richie Mo 'Unga is one of the most creative players in world rugby .it doesn't go overnight . Class will shine through again.
Who is this guy?
Yeah it’s interesting to see how well he was playing for the crusaders then all of a sudden he’s struggling along with the rest of the All Blacks. Imagine if he could say what he really wanted to say. He’s just repeating those same old lines.
@@jeffjefferson3364 who are u
@@jeffjefferson3364 A guy that would walk into any international team!
@@cspace1234nz how about we let him start with havili next to him..and see this time around
Why is Richie getting slammed by reporters at the moment? Send in Jordie and Beauden instead.
Clearly upset you could tell some questions hurt him to answer, but spoken well Ritchie, I hope he gets to start the game this week.
Terminate current All Biack Coach and appoint Scott Robertson as head coach and Leon McDonald as his assistant they both are.excrusader
RICHIE NEEDS TO START💯 I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COACHES DON'T SEE🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤬
He is the best Man to start on 10...the best.... Very creative, sharp and has a lot of skill...
Richie gracious in defeat. Solid guy, wonderful player - honest, reliable and highly skilled - I really like him (as a Saffer).
The saffers this week have been ridiculously gracious in victory if anything , let’s hope we can bring the fire this week against you at the cauldron
Why on earth were they playing Jordie at 10 for much of the game when they have one of the best number 10's on the bench?? Poor judgement.
Stop being so hard on yourselfs you guys will be back soon.It’s the way things work in the world of rugby.Still a great team and still the top 5 in the world.Relax and go and enjoy the game.
That’s what sets them apart. It’s a religion with the ABs. They take it very seriously. It’s a part of what makes any AB team so good.
I look forward to the day they get it right.
@@gekolizzard ,hopefully at the world cup which I think will happen if Razor gets the job as soon as possible
Still the top 5?,that's as good as being ranked 50 unacceptable Fozzie has a lot to pay for.
What Argentina beat us last year and with foster I'm thinking bye bye bledisloe maybe we could beat Canada georgia
@@brianholt8575 fozzie will be long gone by the bledisloe.
Saffer living in NZ, and man I must say, I have big love for both countries. It’s so bitter sweet for me. I am so glad the bokke are looking awesome, and I will always support them, but I always support the All Blacks when Springboks aren’t playing and I feel for the boys.
You guys will get through this, and you will get that inspiring win that catapults you back up the rankings. Some things will need to change, what they are, who knows, but I do know that NZ has incredible rugby talent, and it’s just about making all that talent click. Chin up boys!
It seems like dark days. We need to learn to how to lose yeah it's frustrating but It's hard cause we just went through a golden age of New Zealand Rugby. I'm happy we lost to a RSA side. Truly a world class outfit
I also love my NZ basketball and can't help but think some of NZs basketball talent is draining rugby.
The only change they need is to get rid of that incompetent fool Fozzie
Just for the record, we are blikseming them on Saturday. No sympathy on Saturday, we’ll discuss how sorry we feel for them after the job is done. I’ll be there, loud as I can be. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
@@MosesMatsepane hopefully you're wrong my friend
Well fronted up, Richie...and good on you answering some tough questions. Good luck on Saturday at Ellis Park! Respect 🙏🏻🇿🇦🏉
Ritchie has never been given a fair chance to settle in at 10 and unleash his full potential.
Richie has to start. Jordan has to start at 15. You can’t expect us to beat SA when we don’t even have the right starting 15!! While I do feel for Foster somewhat, I think he’s genuinely delusional about a lot of things.
Exactly well said
Amen!!!!
He needs to start 💯
You have my vote... the team needs results Richie is the results guy.
It humbles me as a All Black Fan to hear The Spring Bok Fans still encouraging The All blacks and telling us not to give up on our team. The respect showen through a proud history between both countries still believing in us to get back up. It is sad to see my team at its lowest but we are simply loosing to better sides. The All Blacks jersey has always been held to a high standard that the world could not deny the All blacks playing the best entertaining brand of rugby. We brought the best out of teams we were always the team to beat. We are not that team anymore and its hard to watch these days. We are Hurt!! 😔
Great composure by Riche. Reminds me of Dan Carter and how calm he was during interviews.
1st. Why are they having Mounga front the camera, it should be the starting players. You can see he's uncomfortable answering questions not having played the majority of the game. 2nd. He should be the starting 1st five. Love Beauden but he's been flat. He was a bit better this weekend just past but at this time Richie is looking a lot sharper especially controlling the play. Other changes need to be made too.
I really love that we are being taken into deep waters and our problem areas are exposed. Hell yeah it sucks we are loosing but if we have any chance at all to do well and dare I say it, win, the World Cup then we need to know what our weaknesses are now and not next year. Go well this weekend boys.
I agree completely.
But the Qn few people are willing to talk about is whether Razor, or any coach for that matter can actually turn things around by the time the RWC starts next year.
Thoughts?
@@Wilkinson7 Surely Razor couldn't do any worse than Foster. It's time to drop the axe and give Razor a shot.
@@Wilkinson7 that’s a bloody good talking point. For all Razors qualities he could very well come in and realise just how much different the AB’s is from the crusaders. Not to say fozzie is the guy but we have to consider how much bigger the head coach role is.
Agree but just think France is to bloody good to much to catch up on in 13 months
Richie should start one of the tests....
What a gentleman. Isnt he the best flyhalf in NZ at the moment. Wonder why they play him behind Barrett.
Anyway Im just glad the Sprinkboks are on top of things. Looking forward to Sat clash.
🇿🇦
Cause the old boys at the NZRU have a Beauden fetish.
Him and Jordie are avarage as.
Mo'unga and Will Jordan are key players! Put Reece on wing Clarke on the other. Call up Byrn Hall get him on the plane.
Send Beauden, Jordie, Smith, Cane and fozzie all on the plane home.
They've destroyed our team!
This great player hasn’t been given the opportunity yet to really show his class in this All black team …. Always just a bench player with this current coach
Its perfectlly reasonable to criticies the All Blacks(and easy), they haven`t been playing at their best. BUT having said that, i don`t understand why every loss of the All Blacks is giving to them playing poorlly, and rarelly at the opposition playing great. Ireland and South Africa played AMAZING games.
Well it’s quite simple, they have been playing poorly, very poorly. It was always said over many years that in order to beat the All Blacks you have to play your best game and they must be off their game
Is Gilbert Enoka still with the team? The boys might need a few sessions with him again just to get in the right state of mind. They all facially look like they are under heaps of pressure
New Zealand still have many of the players that were ripping it up against other countries over the past few years. And they have Will Jordon who is one of the best, if not the best in his position. So, if it’s not the players, then where does the problem lie?
In the coaching damn Fozzie has a lot to pay for
Coaching … and since it was the coach, he has now injured the ABs mentally. Its like a disease. It will spread. It happened to Brazil in soccer, and now its happening to the ABs.
It’s obvious. Poorly coached, badly prepared.
It's the stupid dumb coach that puts players in positions they don't usually play.
So why should the world feel sorry for NZ? All the teams have been there. Wasn't the NZRU CEO behind the move to kick SA teams out of Super Rugby. Its the same CEO who kept Razor out the top job. Let them eat humble pie.
I agree we should not feel sorry for NZ. LET THEM EAT HUMBLE PIE!!!
I think you can feel a bit sorry for the players while at the same time also think their CEO is a bit of a tit.
It tastes good
I thought SA made the choice to leave because of the suitable time zone, and because several of their players are based there. It's news to me that NZRU forced them out.
@@nepiahemopo1702 Nah man. NZRU basically reneged on the SR contract and SARU pretty much had no choice but to look elsewhere. They managed to negotiate the inclusion of four sides into the URC but it was a pretty desperate time (*edit - it is a pretty good move and I do think they benefit majorly from the time zones)
If you delve deeper, there is little to like about the actions of the senior hierarchy of the NZRU. The Australians are on the cusp of leaving too and to be honest, I wouldn't blame them.
All of the rugby unions have problems but the NZRU has been on a particularly pathetic slide for the last few years.
From a Bok supporter. They have to give Richie a chance to start. He looks keen to go. But whether it will be enough is another thing. But all these Abs are giving it their all.
Yeah he looks hungry. They have never let him settle into his role in this team in my opinion. Hes in hes out. They need to let him settle into the role and grow the confidence. He has all the talent.
@@karltaylor2857 I think they worry about his size. Physically he is much smaller. No doubt he can tackle. But there's only so much a lightweight can do against a heavyweight.
As a South African I really don't enjoy seeing the All Blacks like this. The confidence is broken and thats not a AB side I know. Thet give their all every game. They'll turn the tide and we'll see great rugby between the boks and ABs again
It is what it is ..🤷♂️
Change the coach..
Damn straight👍
This guy is an incredible player, always nervous when I see him line up against England. Love watching him in Super Rugby. Beuden B and Ritchie, my two fav player in NZ
Fa'amalosi uce! Looking forward to Richie and Will starting in their correct positions 💪
From a South African, The All Blacks are not down and out nor on a decline to the lower levels of Rugby, They are in a building process as SA was back in 2017 who went on to win the RWC in 2019. Building takes times, part of it is loosing and finding the right players. They will return to top level rugby very soon, after all what is a Springbok without a All Black and visa versa.
we are ranked number 5...we are going down for sure
Ca’nt get better and more straightforward than this, and honest…👊
Never liked the bloke but after this interview he definitely won me over. His a quality player and probably the best in the world outside of NZ & SA. We the Bok’s went through the same phase during the 2003 World Cup and here comes Jake White to win us the 2007 WC. Change the woke NZ rugby board and the AB will be back. However, I still don’t underestimate them for this weekend, this is the AB we talking about and won’t be complacent EVER facing them…
Cause the old boys at the NZRU have a Beauden fetish.
Him and Jordie are avarage as.
Mo'unga and Will Jordan are key players! Put Reece on wing Clarke on the other. Call up Byrn Hall get him on the plane.
Send Beauden, Jordie, Smith, Cane and fozzie all on the plane home.
They've destroyed our team!
This guy has fire in his boots, can spot a game and put a boot in when needed, an all rounder. I would love him in to play for SA. Give.
Manz deserves a start to give the opposition a different look. Beauden or Jordie isnt cutting it.
Get this man a TEST START WITH havili who he carved Auckland blues with..ran the game smart that night
He is more upfront and honest answering questions than Foster and Robinson!!!
Damn. This hurts. Rich is such a nice guy and a world class player, would be a starter in any team. But this interview kinda sums up where the AB's are right now. Rich seems lost here, just trying to keep it together - and that's where they are right now. Not to rub salt in the wounds but i have NEVER seen any AB team make so many fundamental mistakes. Passing, handling, run angles. I'm sorry to say that this might be the most unclinical and exposed the AB's have ever been.
Nah you summed it up well I think. That and the Boks were clinical and ruthless. A powerful display I must say. We need to be better and front up...simple as that.
this guy should have played the full game, why on earth leave this kind of experience on sideline.
Really appreciate "meeting" the man.
Just know his name and that he's a competent no 10, maybe overshadowed by the Barrett euphoria.
Well, Bauden Barrett was totally outclassed by Pollard at No 10, there is absolutely NO reason to keep Richie from starting.
Richie, you have a new South African fan🏉😊👍
Laughable getting Richie to front the media when the only game time he gets is 15 minutes at the back end of a game when the teams getting pumped. Where is Beauden to answer for his pointless kicking away of possession? The fly half who starts 95% of the time whose job it is to steer the ship. Complete shambles this lot.
Facts
Please let him start the game💪his definitely a game changer 🤞Soo humble...I still believe in you Blacks💯you will get back up I believe it with my whole ❤️...# allblackforlife 🖤win or Loose...I'm from South Africa 😊
HUGE RESPECT TO RICHIE MO'UNGA!!! You can see they're hurting and as fans it hurts seeing them like this but through the good times and the bad...WE SHALL OVERCOME!!!! Hang in there boys ;(
I think when they do finally get it right the world is in trouble especially if Razor is coach
Yeah it’s interesting to see how well he was playing for the crusaders then all of a sudden he’s struggling along with the rest of the All Blacks. Imagine if he could say what he really wanted to say. He’s just repeating those same old lines. They’re poorly coached and badly prepared. Such disrespect from NZ Rugby to amazingly gifted players
An (almost) unbeatable ABs team is what every test side wants to face - the reason is they’ve been the pace setters for so long. Recent history showed that every side needed to play outside of their individual and collective ability to beat them. Their utter dominance since noughties to rwc 2015 is what set rugby apart from other codes. We need them back to their best.
4:07-4:28 humble man , that's why he's such an outstanding player.
Richie will come out of this a better player. Through adversity and loss these boys will be hit back hard.
Every team has its low periods…the All Blacks are no different.
They’ll be back soon enough.
They’re a class outfit.
I feel sorry for whatever team they’re playing when that happens.
That's the whole point, the ABs ARE different, well... WERE different.
@@miguelangel3254 got a point there. Any team that consistently beats the rest of the world has to be different.
im soo sick of hearing about the "other team" all the time and how good they are. I want to know what we are going to do about it.
As a south african I love the people of New zealand, love the players but obviously they're still our biggest rivals and annoy the hell out of me haha
You wouldn't have it any other way. Haha!
Start Richie and start Will at Full-back!! Give em a crack
People are really over the top. Great dominant teams have dips. These guys are rebuilding and are still very competitive.
Don't deserve the flak!
From a fellow South African, I agree 100%. They will come back hard one of these days and all the hate will be in the past.
I will never stop supporting you guys. The pain you feel me as an All Black's supporter feel it to. You'll be back better then ever. All Black for life
The world game needs a strong AB team. Hope your boys find the confidence to play with cohesion.
The players aren't to blame for the current situation - it is the team pattern and game plan that is the problem. In the case of Mo'unga, he isn't even starting the game!
Can someone tell me why this guy ain't starting? In form 10 in SR and yet comes in during garbage time?
Let's give Richie a start. Difference with him and Beaudy is Richie isn't afraid to play the territory game. Very apparent in the Pacific rugby final
Richie in my opinion is the best #10 first five we have...been watching him over the year's and his overall game is on point...glad he got to start last Saturday
Feel so sorry for the boys man 😔
Need ian Foster to go that's the problem
As a South African True All Black fan, i feel hurt but i know this is only a dip to learn.... We will be great... Again...i know it in my heart.
It doesn't matter how good new zealand is.. they were never going to beat South Africa last week that gave everything to win
Mo'unga and Rts should get a run. Both deserves an opportunity to start. the other 2 inside centers seem to be clueless . All the best All Blacks. 🇿🇦
Good man and excellent player. But ... your problem Richie, is that you don't have the scope to get any better against the Springboks. The problems in Saffer rugby in terms of politics, racial quotas etc have now been sorted (even though it took around 30 years). The Boks are now ready and on their way to regaining the world rugby dominance they exercised during the previous century.
My uso is hurting and you can see it let him start...selfish to let all Barrett brother play and look its gonna be down in history they dont wanna see a Brown based allblack side same problem they having in S.A not being racist but ppl at the top dont wanna see it
Get on the paddock Rich and make your mark
Attitude, maturity and intelligence is soo important as a captain, always surprised no one else is talking about not just starting but captain!
The fans need to chill out.
They're acting like they've just lost in world cup final against the lowest tier nation.
All teams have been here before.
It's literally what you do to get back at the top that defines you!
Stop this madness and support your boys!
It's not the boys that are getting stick - it's the coaching staff that needs to go.
@@AgentMoray Yeah mate I get that. And I believe a complete shakeup in the coaching staff is necessary..
However I've a lot of abusive comments to the players especially Cane.
Let's also remember he has family that are also on these pages, and he doesn't deserve the amount of hate he is getting.
@@nigel8484 thats the 'participation award' mentality. No wonder why rugby in nz going down the drain
He comes across as a really nice guy.
Great player.
"Wouldn't say it's mental, I'd say it's just, skill. Skill error. You don't have to be in the right frame of mind to catch a ball, or to complete your job"
Literally what I've been saying. Just catch the bloody ball, you do that, stuff happens. Can't do anything if you just keep dropping the stupid thing.
Oh crap, this All Black team is poorly coached and badly prepared, it’s that simple. The players are only ever as good as their coach and the coach is an arse
Feel for Mounga, and you can tell he is frustrated and hurt. He is blinded and a victim of a stubborn coach who is losing player depth as he continues to use the same players and shunt new players with minimal game time, and this is why our substitutes are ineffective. Also, always choosing the same players, like the Barret brothers, doesn't allow for an alternative option using Mounga and Jordan, who needs game time to adjust. It's selfish not to give these guys a chance who have the talent and want the team to win.
Stephen, are you suggesting that Mounga replaces Barrett? Barrett is the best player in New Zealand.
Sorry man, I have to disagree - Will Jordan got found out big time. It's obvious he can only play behind a winning bunch of forwards.
@@AgentMoray you mean Mounga?
@@dantewalters5209 Nah, Mounga is ok. Definitely mean Will Jordan. Maybe he should be at 15 again, because he looked completely out of sorts on the wing.
@@AgentMoray are you mentally deranged? He only plays at 15 for the crusaders (where he was the best player in super) and he got hardly any chances on the wing.. oh yeah that’s right, he made a break
Such a good guy. Wish AB fans would stop acting like it's a national tragedy if they lose one game. They definitely will do better this coming Saturday. Relax. Chill. Stop putting so much ptessure on your guys. Think of their mental health for goodness sake✌🇿🇦 don't see Bok fans going crazy when we lose. Maybe we're more used to it 🤭
They've lost 5 out of 6. I think if not now, then when should AB fans start getting vocal? As a fellow South African - you're kidding, right? Bokke fans give their team more stick than anyone, the minute a game is lost.
we are ranked 5...we have never ranked lower than 3 since rugby was invented..These guys are paid well so we expect results especially when things are not going well
Asking him question that really isn't fair to him because he barely played. But still the way he answered the question shoes he's a team man and will take responsibility .
I think it says a lot that these guys all give the same answer to questions. No one has any edge. No one stands up in front of a camera and takes responsibility and say We are not good enough. It’s always we got pumped but it was our best game this year.
What a humble nice guy, keep them all safe this Saturday 👍
1st player to just admit it was not good enough. It is not that difficult.
We had a 10+ year run, or closer to a 20+ year run( I forgot I’m in my late 40s now 😂) I was a teen when things were competitive with the all blacks with Australia and SA, and I’ve never seen the Northern teams dominate the South the way they did this year.
Maybe those sabbaticals of the southerners top players are finally paying dividends for the north. I’ve literally witnessed entire squads of elite southern international players up and leave to play up north. Maybe the NZRU, ARU, SARU’s chasing of coin has led to this current situation.
A three test series against Tonga or Scotland will set them right. Wack up another 100 points and all is rosy in the garden. As Corporal Jones was so fond of saying. "They don't like it up 'em !"
That's part of the problem foster has pets bb S cane Richie should be starting every test
I agree Sam cane looks a little bit out of its comfort zone but as for Richie starting every test you might want to bring up his
Stats
Compare it to beauden Barrett at test level
Don't get me wrong Richie is a master class
I feel for the All Blacks. So what? They are never supposed to lose a few games. Are they meant to apologise to the NZ public when they give their all and someone else has the best of the day. Screw the couch potatoes and the smug commentators. They're great... full stop. South Africa and Ireland were superb and it was their day.
Time for Richie to start at 10.
Fosters denial has crept into the camp
After watching the match recently the allblacks have been physically overpowered go back 3 years it was a different story
I watched the game 3 times so far. Not once did they go fwd to take the ball carrier out, not talking about breaking the line but meeting their attack with the same force instead of just stopping them eventually. I'd like to see more mana or on the line and go out there and scrap for our legacy, actually fight for the right to call upon that legacy that other teams no longer fear.
@@bronicaetrs also I see a lot new faces players etc are young they must be given time the all blacks are still for me are a formidable outfit but the game has moved on the home counties have great talent and the French who for me are no 1st great era for rugby
New territory for the AllBlacks. Will be interesting to see how they navigate their way out of it. Boks had the same thing not too long ago and it was a struggle them and for us the fans.
Can't blame Richie if he's only given 20 minutes. He is a Crusader, and winner of note.
They have RTS the best line breaker/ stepper in league wasting away should be laumape 12 RTS 13 or vice versa and mounga starting
This hits harder because we know what our history showed what we are capable off.
By having this interview, Look like All Black is going to have the same tier( 2) in the next W.C as Scotland, Wales, Argentina, Fiji. Lack of team spirit and lack of self-belief.
How is Richie facing the media while Bauden isn't? Richie didn't start...
Frustrating? Frustrating is what the line up was, Richie never gets to general without Bauden in a match anymore...
Unfortunately foster has infected these players with cancer and with down there natural talent resign now and give a real coach a chance to turn this around for next world cup
You can tell he is really frustrated
The morale of the All Blacks is currently non existent 👍 I can see it in the body language of Richie Mo'Unga 👍 They don't focus and are completely lost. They don't know what to do nor what to think. They don't have a plan. They're lost within their own ego 😬😬 They just don't have any answer and I can also see Richie is very uncomfortable speaking to the media 🤔
Richie don't care he just wants the rwc to be over so he can leave and not have to worry about all this rubbish, Richie has been punished by foster by giving him fuk all game time when he is one of the best 10's in the world.
At this level everything is mental - not skill level but as he said its not mental but skill level then "Huston, we have a problem". Main engine does not seem to be firing and structurally this ship is falling apart. Need new everything - head coach, skill coaching, game plan etc. Not for the WC23 but for the future of the AB franchise. I recall a loss in SA in 2004. Head coach GH sat everyone down and together made the call that they were not playing as a team but as individuals (entitlement), not to mention the alcohol abuse after test matches. So a new culture was born. Time for a rebirth I guess.
The opportunity to play in a place like that. That's the power of the South African nenue
All blacks will come out of this and dominate world rugby for another 10 years. Just like after 07.
Damn I wish he could start but Barrett is also Super Good aswell I can hear the heartbreak in his voice I wish we could back the boys man in the bad and good losing isn't nice but they are literally trying nobody's perfect they will show up
He does need to start. Sam Cane needs to stand down and put Ardie in at no 7 the front row need to toughen up and the island boys need to catch the bloody ball for starters. Far too many mistakes were made and it’s soooo frustrating to watch. Watch your set piece and go from there. Sorry ABS you absolutely need to get things right.
AB's by 10 pts for me. I can really feel it in my bones this week. 😁
How? They have no strategy at all
You back to stir up us Bok fans MC Sweeney 🇿🇦🤘🏻. You know we've got this, it's Ellis Park, Joburg dude. 5700ft.
Just like last week lol! Boks are too powerful for this All Black team.
I think you're gonna suffer the exact same thing that we have many times in the past ie. vastly improve after a belting but ultimately lose agonisingly by 1 or 2 points.....which hurts even more.
AB all day!
Hurts to see the guys like this. There is so much pressure on them.
Good luck Richie and all blacks✌️
2 weeks later… has anyone else likes your comments apart from you liking your own comment 🤣👌😉 reckons Richie gone reply? 2years laterrrrrrr 😅
Unfortunately the AB's need to lose this weekend so that Razor gets the job ASAP. We still have time to turn this around before the world cup.
5th place in World Rugby Rankings. A lot of work to be done and sorted for next years World Cup. AB`s can sort this and will sort this. Slainte from Dublin. Ireland will keep that number one spot warm in the meantime!
LET THIS MAN START , BACK LINE IS ALWAYS ASLEEP UNTIL RICHIE COMES ON
