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 and kick 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."
