Two All Black players will not be eligible after the World Cup
The fifteenth world kicked off Brenos XV Rose Shield 2023 World Cup…
If the focus and choice of every player in 2023 will be on the World Cup (from September 8 to October 28), many movements will be observed at the end of this great event. An event that will mark the end of the cycle for many actors who will eventually turn a new page in their careers.
This is particularly the case with the All Blacks: Richie Muonga (28 years, 44 caps) and Shannon Frisell (28 years, 25 caps). If at the moment the first half is played for the Crusaders and the third row is on the Highlanders side, the two players will play in the same jersey in 2024. In fact, the latter will discover the Japanese championship with the Toshiba Brave Lobos club. .
An option to develop abroad which, according to New Zealand rules of rugby, will no longer allow them to be called up to the All Blacks squad.
“It has been my dream to play rugby abroad and experience a different culture, which I know will be a great experience for my family.”Richie Monga said in a statement.
To summarize
While every player’s focus and selection in 2023 will be on the World Cup, many moves will be seen after such a major event. In particular among the All Blacks with Richie Mo’unga and Shannon Frizell who will discover the Japanese championship with Toshiba Brave Lupus Club in 2024.
