Former All Blacks captain and wife Richie and Gemma McCaw are making their way to Japan to support the All Blacks in their Rugby World Cup semifinal against England this Saturday.

Gemma posted on Instagram that the pair were "TOKYO bound," along with their daughter Charlotte.

"Any tips for travelling 11 hours with a baby welcome," she added. "Wish us luck."

The McCaws have been based in South Africa of late where former Black Stick Gemma has been playing hockey for the Adelaide Fire. 

Richie captained the All Blacks to two successful Rugby World Cups, in 2011 and in 2015.

He retired after the second win, but took part in the opening ceremony of this year's event last month.

All Blacks will face England in the first semi-final at 8pm this Saturday while South Africa will play Wales at 9pm on Sunday.
