There's not a lot Richie McCaw didn't do for the All Blacks, but former halfback Piri Weepu revealed the one thing he struggled to get the All Black great to commit to - leading the haka.
Speaking to Marae, the 33-year-old Weepu spilled the beans on the conversation around who had to lead the haka.
Weepu said he'd always glance at McCaw in the hope he'd step up.
"I used to tell Richie to try and lead the haka, and he'd always look at me like 'nah, nah, nah.'
"I always wanted him to lead it while I was there.
