[TRF_Ezequiel]

McCaw will not be able to resume training for 10 to 12 weeks and will miss the start of the 2012 Super 15 Rugby tournament.

Saders will be a difficult team anyway, even with king Richie on the Sideline

Like last year, Matt Todd will step up

This is really necessary. Richie is contracted for another for another three years, and to get the best out of him, this feet issue needs to be fixed once and for all.

I have no doubt that Matt Todd will step into the breach in the mean time.

It's a dilemma to make, do you secure his international future by resting him from Crusaders duty or do you keep him fit by asking him to play (when fit) in the S15.

wouldn't hurt Richie to have 5-8+months off rugby. If he's serious about the 2015 world cup then I think it's a must.
