    Former All Blacks coach Sir Steve Hansen thinks getting former New Zealand and Crusaders star playmaker Richie Mo'unga back for the next World Cup is a good bit of business all round

    Former All Blacks coach Sir Steve Hansen thinks getting former New Zealand and Crusaders star playmaker Richie Mo'unga back for the next World Cup is a good bit of business all round


    Hansen's been on the ground in Japan at Toyota Verblitz, where Mo'unga's guided Toshiba to back-to-back titles in the top league.

    He's told Weekend Sport he's got no doubt the 31-year-old will hit the ground running, as Ardie Savea and Beauden Barrett, among others, have.
