[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 632228, member: 57076"] I love how the AB just give sabbaticals to some of their main guys...like, no problem, they've got it all covered. Yeah no doubt McCaw isn't as efficient. He's like BOD. He's sort of there because he's been there for a century and the seat just has his butt-shape carved in hard, but at the same time if he really was no good at all anymore he'd be replaced. In betw. these two. He must really be seen as a HERO at this point over there... I saw a segment on the news a couple of days ago where they showed how the NZ prime minister was passing a referendum about whether to keep their current flag or change it and not keep the Union Jack because it mirrored their colonial past. They showed tweets of various proposals, some were jokes, some real attempts. Amongst the funny ones, one guy posted a patchwork of a few NZ heroes. There were like 5 faces, and one of em was Richie McCaw. Like, humorous or not, the point is he seems to be that predominantly in the collective imaginations of the kiwis. He's on their Mount Rushmore it seems. [/QUOTE]
