Unbeknown to our spy, the woman asking was Flynn - who then requested our unsuspecting agony aunt relay the answer to her boyfriend.
Imagine her surprise when she was introduced to McCaw!
She did manage to get a selfie with the rugby star before scuttling back to her own corporate box, agog at the random encounter - and convinced marriage is on the cards for the sporting high-fliers.
It's certainly the first relationship McCaw has been so public about, posing proudly with Flynn at several recent red-carpet events.
And Flynn has also posted pictures of the pair on her Instagram account, including one of them relaxing in Europe and America after last year's season-ending tour by the men in black.
She also proudly posted a photo of a personalised $1000 Working Style jacket which she gave McCaw after his 100th match as test captain against Wales last November.
The jacket is embroidered: "100th test as captain. Love Gemma."
