'He's behind a Rolls Royce pack' - Crusaders coach on Richie Mo’unga’s stellar final performance

August 5, 2018

Scott Robertson said his No.10 played exceptionally and admitted the forwards were on another level against the Lions.

Crusaders coach Scott Robertson talked up his No.10 Richie Mo'unga and admitted his starring role in his side's 37-18 win over the Lions in the Super Rugby final should also be credited to the work of the forwards.

The Crusaders won back-to-back titles last night at AMI Stadium in Christchurch.

Robertson praised Mo'unga for his handy work on attack and kicking display in the final.

"He beat about 20 defenders and kicked the majority of his goals," said Robertson.

"He was tough on defence and he's behind a Rolls Royce pack."

Robertson had the media laughing after his comment and also took a moment to enjoy his remark himself.

Last night's Super Rugby title win was the Crusaders' ninth championship. The South African based Lions have now lost three consecutive finals.
