Richie Mo'unga: 'we're trying our best, and we know it's not good enough for All Blacks standards'

Coach Ian Foster and his team have been subjected to a bombardment of criticism since losing the July series to the Irish and Mo'unga said he respected the right of fans to vent their frustrations.

New Zealand's Richie Mo'unga wants to snap his team's losing streak.

Richie Mo'unga says the All Blacks are blocking out the outside noise of their unhappy fans and focusing squarely on snapping their three-match losing streak when they face the Springboks again in Johannesburg this weekend.

The flyhalf has played off the bench during New Zealand's disappointing run, with Beauden Barrett preferred in the No.10 shirt for the two losses to Ireland and last week's 26-10 defeat by world champions South Africa in Nelspruit as they dropped to No.5 in the world rankings.
