All Blacks great Richie McCaw has been to two events at the Rio Olympics so far...and he's witnessed two defeats. Now he's thinking of heading back home.
McCaw was on hand to watch the All Blacks sevens side suffer a shock 14-12 defeat to Japan in their opening pool game.
He was also in the crowd when the women's hockey team, featuring his fiancée Gemma Flynn, lost 2-1 to Germany yesterday.
He told media in Rio today that he might be a curse.
"After what happened with the lads in the first game perhaps I am. I might have to leave," McCaw told TVNZ's Jack Tame.
"I know how tough these boys are, so I'm sure they'll bounce back."
