"The tackle's not completed until I'm back on my feet". Wise words.

Not the biggest, neither the fastest, nor the strongest. Richie Macaw just does the simple things very well and with 100% commitment. Great captain.

Great player. Great captain. Great Person! Truly extraordinary in all facets and a terrific ambassador for sport and NZ. Legend!

A brilliant demonstration of how McCaw was such a brilliant player. There's something so authoritative about New Zealanders explaining rugby. I really enjoy Jeff Wilson in this clip. As a player (a truly excellent one), he always seemed so serious and intense...and here, he's smiling and enjoying being part of this masterclass!

He even complements pocock, 2 of the games greatest 7s in my opinion

I'm a South African but Richie was my best #7

Every year I used to ask santa for a Richie McCaw for the England team!

this is gold man, great video and educational from the legend

I'm going to miss you McCaw

Richie is next to iceman Michael Jones the best #7 in the world. I watch them play on different style I like iceman around the fields he is something else respect both.

Great video. Always learning about rucking.

Was just his mindset of never giving up. Hes the GOAT

kamo, goldie and the king, what a trio 😊

Jokes and friendliness between All Blacks players that makes them unique and win most games played.

3 Kiwi Legends

Christ! Jones & Wilson! Legends!

everyone who uses that McCaw is a cheat argument is a bloody sheep that just says what the next bloke says. He's just the most technically gifted player to play the game. Nor is he an outrageously dirty player like the majority of you think he s and its been proven that he is more often on the receiving end. Because he understands the game more in depth than most people he's automatically a cheater?! It just gives him a very obvious distinct advantage. something also to note is incredible core strength which is probably the key reason to why he's so good at what he does.

Excellent

don't retire Richie, you have one more season in you at least

Had to look twice at the clip’s photo as I thought it was Goldie bowing at Richie’s feet LOL

One of the greatest players of all time

I’m a football fan and I find these so interesting

Awesome McCaw......

Awww Jeff Wilson, you look like your panicking mate. Great explaination! I think ppl need to see this more.

Man Richie knows what he talking about awesome

The GOAT at work.

Fantastic, building on the work of michael jones and Josh Kronfeld. Mccaw is something else though

All the haters just hate whether it's Mccaw or anything in general cause you wish you had that.

Wow, Ian Jones!

Total GOAT.

G.O.A.T.

GOAT

Smart bloke and strong as an ox

He's there to teach you how to play the ball while off your feet.

looks good

Is that Ian Jones? Another AB legend

Love to see david Pocock do one of these masterclass'

@3:00 demonstrating the crocodile roll which led to Jack Willis's torn knee. Should be covered by existing laws, not intentionally collapsing; and players must attempt to stay on their feet.

you need Ritchie on here all the time.

Everyone calling him a cheat! He’s just super clever and skilful enough to get away with it. His IQ for the game is crazy. Look at players in other sports like LeBron, Ronaldo, Brady… people say the exact same thing about them. How ironic that the greatest players in each code get labeled cheats. Are they actual cheaters tho? Or do they know the game / refs so well, that they know exactly how to get away with it? 🤔 Richie was renowned for studying every ref before the game, just to know how he refs. It’s even on his doco ‘Chasing Great’ Food for thought…

Can't be Richie McCaw, he wasn't offside.

GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐

Very cleaver mccaw

That giraffe looks JUST LIKE Ian Jones!

McCaw is brilliant. NZ and Australia are backwaters. Please hit the like button.

Easy on the old fulla king Richie lol

And how do you enter from the side of the ruck without the ref pinging you?

Wooohoooooo the best ever 2 world cups boiiiii

Support Scottie with the All Blacks

Back when rugby wasn't shit.

The G.O.A.T and that's coming from an Aussie. Either accept it or live the rest of your lives in that long ass river called denial 😅😅😅

Take this video down. We don't want others pinching our tactics.

King of OFFSIDE..

Should the croc roll be outlawed? I say yes.

The offsides king

lol Is this Sky Sport's version of Rugby Tonight??? Good to see Richie explain the way he plays though

The presenter is a tall dude

I wish I saw this before I played flanker...I would of been a much better player.

how can you call this guy a cheat? he just played hard and imposed his will on much faster, bigger and stronger players. if you cant respect that then you stupid. greatest captain ever! belee dat!

I would have Richie at 6 and George Smith at 7 in my all time 15

Feels heretic to question Richie's breakdown expertise, but where he discusses Pocock around 3:20, wouldn't it be better to hook his right arm under Pocock/Wilson's left shoulder? As well as giving him more leverage to shift the bloke, it might force him to lose his grip on the ball...

Wow, Goldie is such a poser... is he looking at himself in the monitor the whole time? You look fantastic, Jeff, don't worry.

What a vid lol

This is exactly how I used to fustrate the so-called big boys I played against. In my country however, its my about size rather than actual strength and how u apply your head in using it with skills. Funny thing Im about Richie's size yet here in the Republic Im far too small, Heinrich Brussouw was too small for Heyneke, Aplon was too small, Many a boy far more talented than the guys you see in Super rugby were too small, even though they were just as strong. South Africa has plenty of guys who play to the ball and could match Richie in that department, yet we have these gate keepers who like tall pine trees for some reason. G Smith, Pocock, Warburton, Brussouw, Savea, Dusatouir and Sir Richie are my fav open siders since the turn of the mellenuim. Richie was def the most infuriating to watch poaching against my teams.

Why not be honest McCaw, it was a simple game for you. All you had to do was run round the side, ignoring the ruck entirely entire from the attacking team's side whilst diving off your feet, taking the ball and winning a "miraculous" turnover

Ian Jones makes McCaw look short (who is only 1cm shorter than my husband at 1.88m)

U birds talk about him being a cheat or dirty...loooook at all the best players ever be it English or all blacks or South Africa...all the best players play on the edge and bend the rules...I played for Canada and in England...macaw..Matfield..Wilkinson all great and all dirty .

Why isn't he showing how to not go through the gate, playing off your feet and hands in the ruck? Show us the real black magic Richie

Goldie is now baldy lol

Lesson one,be offside all the time. Referee lets you away with it because you're Richie McCaw

Weirdos wearing office attire and playing rugby.

And now the next situation Richie... The one where you bend and break every rule in the book and come up smelling of roses.

Don't ask richie. Accept if you want to learn how to cheat and get away with it

Richie McCheat

Offside cheater.

Its simple, cheat and don't get caught!

Richie the cheat

The biggest cheat in the game. He’s even off side here!!
