Imaginary Conversation: Richie Mo’unga and Dan Carter on Rugby, Life, and Kicking Challenges
Richie Mo’unga: Hey Dan, always great to catch up with a legend like you. How’s retirement treating you?
Dan Carter: Hey Richie, it’s been fantastic! Plenty of family time and a bit of golf here and there. But I gotta admit, watching you guys play makes me miss the field a little bit.
Richie Mo’unga: Haha, I hear you. We still feel your presence out there, brother. Your legacy is a massive part of what we do now.
Dan Carter: Cheers, mate. Speaking of legacy, you’ve been killing it with the Crusaders and the All Blacks. How do you maintain that consistency week in and week out?
Richie Mo’unga: Thanks, Dan. Honestly, it’s about balance—staying grounded and keeping that work-life harmony. Plus, having a solid support system both on and off the field. How did you manage it during your time?
Dan Carter: Pretty much the same, to be honest. It’s all about the team around you and keeping a clear head amidst the chaos. Oh, and plenty of practice! How’s the kicking game treating you? Any pre-game rituals?
Richie Mo’unga: Kicking is always a work in progress, but it’s one of my favorite parts of the game. As for rituals, I guess I’m a bit superstitious—I always put on my right boot first and listen to some calming tunes before the kick-off. What about you? Any quirky pre-game habits?
Dan Carter: Oh, definitely. I used to have a specific playlist I’d listen to, and I’d always tape up my left wrist first. It’s those little things that get your mind in the zone, you know?
Richie Mo’unga: Absolutely. So, when you watch current games, do you ever get the itch to jump in and show us how it’s done?
Dan Carter: Haha, only every single time! But I’ve got faith in you guys. Plus, it’s fun to be a fan now and enjoy the game from a different perspective. What’s next for you, Richie? Any big goals or plans?
Richie Mo’unga: There’s always something on the horizon. I’m looking to sharpen my skills even more and possibly take on some mentoring roles. And of course, aimed at helping the All Blacks keep that legacy going strong.
Dan Carter: That’s the spirit, Richie. Keep pushing the boundaries and enjoy the journey. Can’t wait to see what more you’ll achieve.
Richie Mo’unga: Thanks, Dan. Your words mean a lot. Let’s catch up again soon. Maybe a round of golf?
Dan Carter: Sounds like a plan! Take care, Richie, and smash it out there.
Richie Mo’unga: Will do, mate. Catch you later.
