Campaign to bring giant metal Richie McCaw statue to Christchurch

Chinese sculptor Yang Yi is looking for a home for a 7-metre-tall metal sculpture he created of former All Black and Crusaders captain Richie McCaw. 

Auckland Council does not want it, Kurow (where McCaw grew up) could be interested, but Matt Vannoort believes Yi should look no further than Christchurch.

The Christchurch chemistry teacher has created an online petition calling for the statue to be brought to Christchurch and installed in front of the new stadium, due to open in spring 2024.
