All Blacks legend Richie McCaw was a high-profile fadein the crowd as the All Blacks confirmed their place in the quarter-finals with a huge win against Italy.
Superb New Zealand scored an incredible 14 tries and hit 96 points against Italy in Pool A to move to the cusp of the World Cup quarter-finals.
ince his retirement after the 2015 World Cup win, McCaw has been passionately pursuing ultra-hardcore marathons, and the weight loss has given him a competitive edge.
The retired athlete, who previously weighed 110kg, is now around 90kg after shedding the extra pounds. This was evident to most onlooking fans.
One fan wrote: Richie McCaw is looking trim. Hard to believe he was a no bullish** International rugby captain.”
A second said: “Nice to see Richie McCaw in the audience, he seems to be onside for once. Must be thanks to the weight loss.”
Another commented: “Speaking of hot things, Richie McCaw is still hot. Lost so much weightl.”
A fourth wrote: “Surprised the camera picked Richie McCaw up there. His cloak of invisibility seems to have been passed on (to Ireland).”

Join us as we dive into the top five disappointments of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. While a few might have a shot at redemption, others are already packing their bags to bid farewell.
#1. Carter Gordon (Australia)
His journey into the world of Test rugby hasn’t exactly been a smooth ride. After doing alright against Georgia, he had an absolute shocker of a night in Saint-Etienne when facing Fiji. This young Wallaby got clobbered with a monster tackle right out of the gate, and trust us, things didn’t exactly take a turn for the better after that. To add insult to injury, he didn’t even get a shot in the game against Wales.
