Not just an exemplary player but a fantastic human being. When it comes to mental strength, toughness, dealing with adversity and bouncing back from tough moments in life, Richie is my personal barometer. The man knows what it takes to reach the doldrums and recover - even when injured. A legend but more importantly, a role model.
Maybe the younger kids at Otago Boys looked up to him in the late 1990s. And perhaps a fan or two of the NZ Schools team. But he didn't make his All Blacks debut until 2001...
@@troyb1278 Well, he’d have to become leader of a political party to become PM, so the people would also have to vote for his party...Do you really want him to lead the Nats, the Reds or the Greens? Not saying he couldn’t, but it’s dirty work, deal-making, back scratching, bare faced lie, etc etc... I think a better position would be something like Gov-General, it’s non-political, non-partisan, and none of the back scratching and back stabbing we see in politics.
I grew up loving this man, and for what I have read he seems to be a good guy too. I bet he is the player that makes everything easier for everyone in the team. Love from Argentina
This guy and Dan Cater together are simply unstoppable one leading the forwards and one leading the backs they are the Goats in their position! NZ rugby is just to good though we finished this 2022 year in 3rd place on the rankings as the worse team in NZ history we will be back at number one mark my words!!
When I think of Richie the image I get is him flying into a ruck from the side of the TV screen to secure what would have been a turnover by completely disregarding his body. Hitting it at absolute full pace.
so for you a double foul play plus endangering his opponents is the height of his career ? Guess that's fair for the player that got the most away with murder during his entire career.
@@brendanwoolford5937 in all Richie’s life on the paddock, never was he cynical or play with any intent to injure an opponent. He is by far the most humble of men to play the game.
when i made the switch from playing american football to rugby as a teen, and given the position of openside flanker, only needed to look up to one guy at the time. cheers richie! also grew up a ravens fan and their 00's defense was mean, feel the same spriit
MY GOD THE ALL BLACKS MISS YOUR WISDOM AND DETERMINATION ON THE RUGBY FIELD. PLEASE COME BACK AND BE THE ALL BLACKS COACH BLUDY IAN FOSTER IS NOT COACHING RIGHT AT ALL.
I'm just getting into Rugby and my boyfriend told me to research this guy. I get why now. Can anyone tell me other legends of the game? RUclips channels with "for dummies" videos? TY to all and #GoCobras
Seeing Richie, Read and Kaino together gives me fkn goosebumps.
Literally the best back 3 ever, no debate
Strongest loose forward trio!
Jerome kaino was nurtured by Jerry Collins 😦 let that sink in dude is the most underrated 6 ever.
Apart from the 3 mentioned, who would you guys have as replacements?
@@Dummypass Pienaar, Michael Jones, S burger, Richard Hill there are so so many.

Sincerely agree, unregarded!
Ahahahahah
Only four minutes I was expecting his whole career
My favourite rugby player of all time. And many many more of us agree too. Love from Sri Lanka
Richie mccaw will always be the best
I’m Australian. I have said for many years now that Richie McCaw is the greatest ever National Captain of ANY sport ever played.
He’s a legend for leading the haka, the undisputed GOAT of rugby
Every Late 90s and early 2000s kid looked up to you Richie. the GOAT
Maybe the younger kids at Otago Boys looked up to him in the late 1990s. And perhaps a fan or two of the NZ Schools team. But he didn't make his All Blacks debut until 2001...
@@VoltmanNZ yes but we grew up watching him...
@@VoltmanNZ We'd still be babies at that age bruh
Agreed
He wasn’t in the all blacks in the 90s 😂😂
You need a lot longer than 4 minutes.
Thats what I was gonna say
All Blacks All Life Long
🗽👩❤️👨💒🏩🏆🥇🏉🙏🏼
Nah bro you don’t need a lot longer you need to just watch the video
Started tearing up watching this! Best sports captain of all time!
Simply the greatest to ever do it. Will never ever be eclipsed. Cut from a different cloth. Wouldn't have won two world cups without him.
Absolute LEGEND..I hope he runs for Prime Minister one day
Mate with the head clashes he has had I don’t think he should lol but know I agree with you
Nah, that’s a much dirtier sport than rugby, it would chew him up and spit him out.
@@fidget2020 but he will have the people on his side
