Muliaina believes Mo'unga deserves to keep the No.10 jersey going forward

Former All Black Mils Muliaina believes Richie Mo'unga deserves to keep the No.10 jersey going forward, following his instrumental performance in New Zealand's win over South Africa.

Mo'unga was chosen to start at first-five ahead of Beauden Barrett at Ellis Park, following the All Blacks' defeat to the Springboks just a week before.

The Crusaders playmaker was pivotal in the turnaround, and has earned praise from pundits and fans alike for his control of the test.

Barrett's case wasn't helped by his late cameo in Johannesburg, after he was shown a yellow card by referee Luke Pearce.

But 100-test All Black Muliaina feels there is room for both players in the match-day squad following Mo'unga's impressive outing, and Barrett's versatility from the bench.
