Crusaders' Richie Mo'unga accused of groping, spitting beer at woman in South Africa
Crusaders star Richie Mo'unga has been accused of spitting beer at a woman and inappropriately touching her at a bar during the team's just-completed South African trip.
The woman said she was standing with friends at Cape Town's Arcade bar, when a group of players she thought were All Blacks started to spit beer at them.
"My friends and I were just standing, talking and then we just had... a lot of beer being spat at us," she told Radio New Zealand.
"My friend and I were shocked at what was happening. I told the guy, 'look here, that's not okay, you don't do that', and he just flat out ignored us and walked away.
"He looked at us with a dead stare and just walked away."
One of Mo'unga's group then came over to apologise and assure them it wouldn't happen again.
The incident followed claims of a homophobic attack by Crusaders players in the same city, but a subsequent NZ Rugby investigation into both accusations cleared the franchise of wrongdoing.
