Day 2: A Decade of Sport
Activity 1: Chasing Great
Over the past 17 years New Zealand has experienced a number of sporting highlights, perhaps none larger than the back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories in 2011 and 2015. In both competitions our national rugby team, the All Blacks, was captained by a man named Richie McCaw. He is arguably one of the best rugby players of all time. A movie called Chasing Great was recently created to document his incredible rugby career.
Please watch the trailer for Chasing Great and read about Richie McCaw online. On your blog tell us three things that you learned about Richie that you did not know beforehand. What else would you like to know about Richie?
- He is honorary squadron leader for the royal New Zealand Air force.
- He is captain of the All Blacks team.
- He has captained the All Blacks to 51 victories in 58 Tests.
Hey there Annalisa, thank you for sharing three interesting facts about Richie McCaw. He is certainly an interesting New Zealander. It's crazy to think he was only 23 years old when he became the captain of the All Blacks. 51 wins out of 58 attempts is pretty amazing! That's a really good winning percentage.
