Richie McCaw, the renowned All Blacks legend, recently revealed that he has successfully dropped 20 kilograms in weight since retiring, primarily by shedding what he referred to as his “non-essential rugby muscle.”
Following his retirement following the 2015 World Cup victory, McCaw has fervently embraced ultra-challenging marathon running, and his weight loss has significantly enhanced his competitive performance.
The former athlete, once weighing 110 kilograms, now maintains a trimmer physique, hovering around the 90-kilogram mark after shedding the surplus weight.
