Colin Mansbridge: On Richie Mo'unga ruling out a return to the All Blacks
Sportstalk with D'Arcy Waldegrave - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

An early return to New Zealand is highly unlikely for 56-test All Blacks first-five Richie Mo'unga. The 30-year-old's agent Cam McIntyre has confirmed his Japanese club and New Zealand Rugby were in talks to forgo the final year of his three-year contract. But those discussions have stalled and - despite All Blacks coach Scott Robertson being keen to have his Crusaders' talisman back this July - the earliest Mo'unga could return to the All Blacks would be the middle of next year.
