All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster believes Richie Mo'unga's stint as the All Blacks' waterboy during last month's Bledisloe Cup clashes will aid in the young player's development.
After shining as the standout player for the Crusaders in their march to a second straight Super Rugby title, many expected Mo'unga to challenge Beauden Barrett for the spot as the All Blacks' first‑choice number 10.
Instead, Mo'unga was relegated from the playing squad entirely, with Barrett and Damian McKenzie preferred, leaving the youngster running the drinks in Sydney and Auckland respectively.
Foster said that Mo'unga's time in the first two Tests will pay off when he eventually takes the reigns of the All Blacks.
The All Blacks name their 23 man squad to face Argentina tomorrow morning.
The All Blacks will meet Argentina at 7.35pm Saturday while the Wallabies clash with the Springboks at 10pm Saturday.
