'Having real pride in my performance' - Richie Mo'unga relishing being Crusaders' big game player

Crusaders first-five Richie Mo'unga spoke about his role at the helm of the Super Rugby champions, following their second straight title win over the Lions last night. 

Mo'unga, 24, has emerged as Super Rugby's form player this season and was a key figure in the Crusaders' remarkable run to a second straight title.

Speaking to media last night, Mo'unga spoke of learning to own his role as the side's chief creative threat.

"I guess it's just standards, having real pride in my performance every week," he said.

"I know how much it impacts on the team's performance too.

"(There's) real respect in the preparation that I have, and real confidence in my ability to do what I need to do."
