Out of all the prominent loose forwards playing in New Zealand, Richie McCaw is the WORST tackler, by some margin pic.twitter.com/3E9rA6ZIYm

Not only is McCaw flubbing his tackles. he is only managing 0.6 turnovers per game. This is down from his normally impressive average of 1.5.
New Zealand's rugby fans often worried if they would ever win another World Cup, after their 1987 success. The 1991 team failed to retain their trophy, in England, and are generally considered to be one of the poorest AB sides in the past 40 years.
McCaw told Newstalk ZB, '"I'm probably not playing to the standard, to my peak, and it's probably the same for a lot of us.
'But when you're going backwards it's hard to have an impact and, in the last couple of weeks, I certainly haven't had the impact I would have liked.'
First a terrible injury to Aaron Cruden, now this.
Expect to see McCaw raising the Webb Ellis trophy at Twickenham on October 31, so.Explore more on these topics:
