    Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge feels changes to New Zealand Rugby's eligibility rules could have dire consequences for the game

    Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge feels changes to New Zealand Rugby's eligibility rules could have dire consequences for the game


    NZR tried to entice first-five Richie Mo'unga back early from his contract in Japan, but the sticking point was their own rules.

    Mansbridge says NZR needs to keep the status quo and provide a clear pathway, otherwise people might consider playing other sports.
