Richie McCaw Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

Richard Hugh "Richie" McCaw (born 31 December 1980) is a New Zealand rugby union player, and is the current test captain of the All Blacks – the country's national team. He predominantly plays in the openside flanker position for the New Zealand, Crusaders and Canterbury teams, but had also played as blindside flanker and no. 8. McCaw is considered by many as the greatest openside flanker of all time, with his ability to anticipate play and adaptability to the referee's rulings two of his key attributes. He was raised in rural South Canterbury, before moving to Dunedin in 1994 to board at Otago Boys' High School. In 1999 he moved to Christchurch to study at Lincoln University and was selected in the national under-19 team. The following year he played for the Under-21s and Canterbury in the National Provincial Championship (NPC), before debuting in 2001 for the Crusaders in Super Rugby.He was selected for the All Blacks' 2001 end-of-year tour, despite having played only eight minutes of Super 12 rugby. His debut for New Zealand was against Ireland, where he was awarded man-of-the-match and was selected as New Zealand's first choice openside flanker for the 2003 World Cup. McCaw became a regular selection for New Zealand, only missing a few games due to reoccurring concussions. In 2006 he was appointed captain of the All Blacks – who he led at the 2007 World Cup. After their elimination in the quarter-finals, his captaincy came under criticism, but he was retained and eventually led the team to victory in the 2011 Rugby World Cup.During McCaw's career Canterbury won the NPC (later ITM Cup) five times, and the Crusaders have reached the Super Rugby semi-finals nine times, going on to win the final on four of these occasions. Since his debut the All Blacks have won seven Tri-Nations titles, completed three successful Grand Slam tours and won the Bledisloe Cup eight times. In 2010 McCaw played his 100th Super Rugby game, made a record-equalling 94th test appearance for his country, and became New Zealand's most capped All Black captain – leading the side in 87 test matches, making him the highest capped test Captain in Rugby Union history. He has been named the International Rugby Board (IRB) International Player of The Year a record three times. In 2010 his contract was NZ$750,000 per year, making him the equal highest paid player in New Zealand. In the 2011 World Cup Pool game against France, McCaw became the first All Black to reach 100 caps. On 23 October, McCaw led his team to their second World Cup title in 24 years by beating France 8–7 in the final. In 2012, after the win against the Springboks in Soweto, McCaw became the first rugby union player to win 100 tests – while at the time only having lost 12 games.His autobiography, Richie McCaw: The Open Side, was co-written with Greg McGee and released on 9 October 2012. In the United Kingdom and United States the book is titled The Real McCaw. It includes some criticism of Wayne Barnes

#Quote
1[Talking about northern hemisphere rugby] The northern hemisphere game is a bit different, they tend to be a lot more physical in terms of throwing numbers in at once. You have to adapt as the game goes on, try to figure out what they are doing. In the Super 12 I felt like I was getting taken out of play and that got quite frustrating at times. But you just have to find ways to counter it.
2[Talking about the 2005 Lions Tour] Rugby's not one on one: you can't just chase around after your opposite number. We need a collective approach and that's where the Lions work quite well. They seem to hit in numbers and that's where they can stuff your ball up.
3[on the eye gouge incident] I got poked in the eye or something. I don't know if it was intentional ... It was pretty quick. When the final whistle went, I had no damage, it was fine. I am just happy we won.
4[Talking about test rugby] The big thing is that you learn your lessons,the nature of Test rugby is that you have got to do everything as well as you can and that's what we didn't do last week. So hopefully we are better for it."
5[on being unable to play rugby because of injury] At the time I was just hoping to get back because we were playing some pretty good rugby and I wanted to be part of it. But I feel pretty fresh and ready to get stuck into it. I guess there is always a wee silver lining in these things."
