Phil Vickery: Richie McCaw (New Zealand)
Lifting the 2011 World Cup in his backyard was a fitting tribute to one of the greatest ever All Blacks, but he went on to secure true legendary status as he continued for four more years, breaking record after record and uniquely hoisting the Webb Ellis trophy for a second time.
VICKERY SAID: “Played against him a few times for England.We spent our whole week just preparing to play against him, let alone the other guys. I wish I had the chance to play with him.”
DID YOU KNOW? McCaw was appointed a member of New Zealand’s highest honour, the Order of New Zealand, in the 2016 New Year Honours
