 During the 1984 Australia rugby union tour of Britain and Ireland former Australian fullback Roger Gould ranked Moon alongside Mark Ella as “the best Australian player I’ve seen”.Former Australian flanker Simon Poidevin said of Moon in his autobiography "For Love Not Money" (1990) that, “he's the best winger I’ve played with or against… ”.However, in a re-released version of his autobiography following the 1991 Rugby World Cup, Poidevin described David Campese as "our undoubted star", praised him for playing "the best he'd ever played", and stated that "He undoubtedly was the leading light in the whole tournament".
