All Blacks first-five Richie Mo'unga was filmed training with Crusaders team mates near their team base in Christchurch this morning, showing blatant disregard for New Zealand's Level Four lockdown rules.
A witness told Newshub it was obvious the group of Crusaders knew each other as they proceeded to pass andkick the ball between them at a park.
"We're all struggling through this lockdown," the witness told Newshub. "And none of us particularly want to be doing it, but we know it's the best thing to do. I was disappointed before I realised who they were."
Mo'unga took to Instagram earlier today to announce he's expecting a baby daughter later this year, hailing his wife Sophie for being a "trooper" through the first half of the pregnancy.
"They were looked at by everyone in the park getting the side eye," the witness told Newshub.

Crusaders chief executive Colin Mansbridge agreed the players were in the wrong and confirmed he'd reprimanded those involved.
