Australian Rugby Union CEO Bill Pulver has congratulated All Blacks great Richie McCaw following the announcement of his retirement today after 148 Tests and back-to-back Rugby World Cup triumphs.

“On behalf of the Australian Rugby Union I want to congratulate Richie on a remarkable career.

“Richie’s record speaks for itself, he is one of the all-time greats of our game and the greatest ever All Blacks Captain.

“For 15 years he has been a highly-respected adversary for Australian teams and is a class individual and a tremendous competitor who is deeply admired by fans and his peers. On and off the field, he personified the values of Rugby and is one of its finest ambassadors.

“Richie thoroughly deserves every accolade he has received in the game and we wish him the very best as he enters the next chapter of his life.”
