In a move that has angered the Maori Elders, much like every other move in history, the All Black legend Richie McCaw gave away a penalty before the start of last Saturday’s record loss against Australia. The game, watched live by 99.5% of Hong Kong’s bar staff was a thriller that turned on the last [...]
