Do you respect Richie McCaw for turning down a knighthood?

By Johnny sauce pants

Knighted for throwing a ball around !!!! What next? Someone fool be knighted for being able to write. Ridiculous.

By Trevor < Wellington >

YES he has done the RIGHT THING....the problem was Mr KEY saying if they won the World Cup he would be KNIGHTED.....these honours are supposed to be nominated by the PUBLIC and KEPT SECRET.....HA HA

Richie is a legend. He'll get one later on.

Yes and well done Richie .This archaic idea of Knighthood and titles is not the NZ way .Royalist Key only bought it back because he wants one .We should never have bought it back.Up the Republic.

YES, i respect richie and he has made the right decision as it was not him alone that brought home the cup and i thought knighoods should only be given to those that have and do contribute to the public and society and go out of there way to do so...he playes a profesional game where he is payed to preform so he has already gotten his just reward for his actions...just giving out knigthoods all willy nilly to people just means that a knigthood dont mean jack anymore.

By Denny Crane

Yes I think Richie McCaw should be knighted for helping win the world cup, just as Benji Marshall was knighted for captaining the Kiwi's to the great victory against the favourites, Australia.
