Documentary on All Black and World Cup legend, New Zealand's favourite son, Richie McCaw. Charts McCaw's final 365 days as an All Black as he attempts to become the first captain to win back-to-back World Cups. Features exclusive access to family archives.
Says McCaw: "I was an ordinary kid who loved playing the game of rugby and had the dream of becoming an All Black. I’ve surprised myself with what’s possible if you want something badly enough. I’ve learned a heck of a lot along the way. I’ve never been big on talking about myself but I hope that by sharing my story, people might be able to find something in it to help them achieve what they really want to."

"Chasing Great can’t rise above feeling like a current affairs profile piece with great production values and access. This isn’t on the filmmakers, they - and the viewer - victims of the huge disparity between the mana of its subject and his associated successes versus how little Richie McCaw has to reveal about himself that we haven’t previously heard or seen on the field."
