Former All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has suggested Sam Whitelock, pictured, should take over the captaincy while Sam Cane, behind, is out with injury.

All Blacks great Richie McCaw has suggested Sam Whitelock is the man to lead the All Blacks in the opening test matches of 2021.

With regular captain Sam Cane out injured after having surgery on a torn pectoral tendon, All Blacks coach Ian Foster will name a new captain ahead of the opening test against Tonga on July 3rd.

McCaw, a double World Cup-winning captain in 2011 and 2015, has suggested his former All Blacks and Crusaders team-mate Sam Whitlelock as the man for the job until Cane’s return.

Fiji is also scheduled to play the All Blacks on the 10th and 17th of July.
