Ritchie McCaw - Breaking Records tonight with 142nd Test

[JackRabbitSlims]

will no doubt be meaningless to many of you on here

especially considering a cycling based forum

however
for those who follow Rugby Union - you will understand what a massive achievement this is in the modern game playing in the 7 jersey

definitely one of the greats if not the greatest of all time

hoping for a good win tonight on home soil over a massively improved Aussie team

Great man, great player - even if he is a kiwi . Like you said, one of the GOAT's. Playing 142 tests for any nation is colossal but for a team like the All Blacks, that may never be matched. And he even gets to celebrate by running straight over the top of the turnstile that is Quaide Cooper.

Stupid selection by Cheika, I hope McCaw has a big night out and kills off this pretty boy bogan's international career for good so we have the best possible squad for the WC.

i read today that Cheika has q cooper down as a definite for the wallabies wc squad

hard to believe

however
when that boy is on
he is ON

Cooper = Fruit! Not worthy to lace up Larkham's boots. Having a horrible match.

Awesome player, best of a generation.

Quade is a sick player when he is on form, I think Cheika is right to pick him as the only way to beat the all blacks is by having someone with the spark of Cooper playing. Sure, there is more chance of him getting bounced by Richie every 3 minutes but you never know

yes
horrible from cooper

the head high penalty try yellow card
was a brain fart
another one to add to his long list

still a hard fought game and the score did not reflect how close it actually was.

bring on the world cup
