Outrageous Mo'unga hat-trick demonstrates his world class ability

All Blacks fly half Richie Mo’unga scored a fantastic hat-trick for the Crusaders during Saturday’s Super Rugby Trans Tasman clash with the Reds.

The 26-year-old scored 31 points as the Crusaders ran away with a 28-63 win at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane and this was the first career hat-trick for the playmaker.

Mo’unga’s first try came early on as he capitalised on a loose ball to run in under the posts.
