[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 465692, member: 38640"] I can't see him as a cheat. There isn't a player on the field who doesn't cheat to a certain extent, whether it is a backline that pushes the offline mark with a rush defense, or a prop whom intentionally bores in or collapses when losing. Every single player cheats to an extent, inentionally or otherwise. It's just a shame that Richie McCaw gets targeted so much for it. As an openside flanker, of course he slows down opposition ball, every openside who does his job well will. It's up to the referee to decide whether what he is doing is with in the rules of the game and what isn't, and Richie McCaw has a very good understanding of the rules of the game and a quick grasp of what the referee interprets as offside. Sooner or later Pocock and Brussow will be labeled cheats, simply because their teams will be successful and they'll be the easiest person to complain about (already has happened with Pocock in the QF).
