From an Englishman, this man was an absolute warrior. Not the biggest, quickest or most skillful man on the park. But by god did he play with passion, desire, hunger and the greatest will to win. An absolute legend and a true leader who led by example. I would walk into the valley of death with this man knowing he would have my back without any worries. An absolute class act and a player that will go down in the annals as one of the best ever. Respect.
Richie for me is the best leader iv ever witnessed! Put his body on the line everything he wore the famous black shirt! Christ he must be putting his feet up big time because he certainly deserves it! Privileged to see him in my lifetime👍
@@taylorwilson6655 I think Stevenson was talking specifically about the other 5 post 2015RWC retirees, long time greats Carter, Smith, Mealamu, Nonu and Woodcock. Read wasn't part of that group, as he was playing beyond that.
Brought tears to my eye watching this! The kind of love and respect this man gets from his people is worth more than any world cup or any achievement in his career!
Was there in person it was truly a privilege to see McCaw in his final test on home soil and the standing ovation he got from the crowd when he came of I've never seen that for a kiwi sportsman before I guess it's a testament to who he is as a player and a person.
I remember growing up back home in Fiji and when we use to play rugby in the backyard we be arguing over who's richie McCaw and that before we played he he to this day miss seeing this guy in the no 7 jersey
Saw him once in 2014 Wales v New Zealand autumn series match in god's stadium 😘😂 hell of a match but the all blacks being the all blacks always fight until the end well in Wales's case the last 10 minutes 34-16 thought we had it 😭😂 Happy retirement boyo even though it's 5 years late 😂😍
