Tens of thousands of people gathered in Auckland on Monday to see the All Blacks celebrate their Rugby World Cup victory.
People stood on footpaths along Queen St and huge crowds filled Wellesley St and Britomart Transport Centre to catch a glimpse of the All Blacks and the Webb Ellis Cup.
Mid-series, McCaw had more troubles and the problem has flared up again recently with the loose forward on a restricted practice workload.
Those who move in circles close to the team say McCaw will play the rest of the tournament, regardless of his discomfort. He will get by on treatment, painkillers and willpower, but may need another operation once the All Blacks end their campaign.
McCaw is even more determined to survive and lead his team after the shock exit of first five-eighths Daniel Carter with a wriped tendon in his groin.
Just hours before that training ground accident in Wellington, McCaw had withdrawn from the All Blacks' last pool game against Canada because of ongoing soreness in his foot. thats sad . another person had to replace Dan .
