Everyone is making the same joke about Richie McCaw's corronation cameo

Richie McCaw had the honour of representing his country at the coronation of King Charles III in London. However, as soon as pictures of him at the event at Westminster Abbey surfaced online, social media users couldn’t resist making the same joke about the famous flanker’s appearance.

McCaw was in attendance as a recipient of the prestigious Order of New Zealand and his cameo saw him subjected to the same old quips about his rugby playing days.

Many accounts couldn’t resist making the same joke, some variation of McCaw having probably come in from the side of the church, alluding to his reputation for pushing the boundaries at the breakdown.

Assume Richie McCaw will use a side entrance to enter the church?

Watching the Coronation and shocked to see Richie McCaw come in from behind the back foot and through the gate instead of in from the side #Coronation

Why is Richie McCaw walking down the middle of Westminster Abbey? He usually comes in from the side?! #Coronation #Rugby
