so was frano botica who is 10 times better than mo'unga but he still couldn't beat fox...most tests were very close back then i don't know how many times fox would win the game due to his goal kicking ability...in the recent rugby wc mo'unga kicked no conversions/penalties out wide he missed them all he was appallingly bad why they never switched gkers before the final is a testament of how incompetent the coaching staff were.
Botica played a handful of games for the "baby" ABs iirc. He may have been better, I guess we'll never really know as most of his career was playing RL in England. But in another universe, he might've been.
Pretty sure that Sam Kane getting a red card in the first half was the biggest issue the ABs faced in the WC final (aside from SAF themselves)... but you're welcome to see things how you choose to see them
