[18] At the end of season rugby awards, McCaw was selected as both the New Zealand Rugby Football Union Under-21 and Air New Zealand NPC Division One Player of the Year. No formal offer was ultimately made. [109] On 15 August 2015, McCaw surpassed Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll world record, as the most capped rugby player when he won his 142nd cap against Australia in the Bledisloe Cup. Although New Zealand won every match on tour, an earlier loss to France and three defeats by the South Africans were the most suffered by the All Blacks in a season since McCaw joined the team in 2001. Injury prevented her from training with the squad properly until 2019. As a result, he only played the latter rounds of Super Rugby, and missed the 2013 French Test Series. [51] In May 2006, at the age of 25 and after 36 test matches, McCaw was named captain of the All Blacks. During this time McCaw overtook George Gregan for most times on the winning side with 94. [95][96] During the All Black's third Rugby World Cup pool match against France, McCaw became the first All Black to reach 100 test caps. The All Blacks were in a pool that included Italy, Portugal, Scotland and Romania. [2][5] McCaw came to the attention of national selectors during a 5-all draw with Rotorua Boys' High School in the 1998 New Zealand secondary schools rugby final in Christchurch. I actually think this will benefit England in the long run and do them a lot of good. McCaw predominantly played in the openside flanker position for the New Zealand, Crusaders and Canterbury teams, but also played as a blindside flanker and no. Against Scotland he came on and adjusted to the pace of the game before his yellow card, albeit against tiring players, and maybe this is something that Eddie Jones will look at. "[129] Former Australian coach Eddie Jones and flanker Phil Waugh say he does no more than any other good openside, but his skill at judging how the referee will interpret the breakdown is the main reason for his success. [63], The 2007 World Cup was held in France, Scotland and Wales. McCaw was the first All Black to reach 100 caps, and the first rugby union player to win 100 tests. Still suffering headaches a month later,[39] he withdrew from the rest of the home campaign and the 2004 Tri Nations to focus on recovery. [104] He later returned to captain the All Blacks as they successfully defended the Rugby Championship. Along with Kieran Read, McCaw led the All Blacks to a perfect season in 2013, winning 14 out of 14.
