Here, Halloween is viewed as a very American holiday and is just now starting to catch on among the kids. But of course what kind of new parents would we be if we didn't submit their infant to the humiliation of dressing up for his first Halloween?
So here's Richie as his namesake, All Black captain Richie McCaw. In the first picture, Richie is getting into character for the traditional pre-game Haka, which is the Maori version of a welcome/war dance that the All Blacks do before each game. If you ever have the chance to catch the beginning of an All Blacks game it's well worth watching just to see them do the Haka. Below is a link to one that created a stir a little while ago because it was particularly vicious.
In the second picture, Richie is showing off his fancy footwork, and in the last he's reveling in the post game victory. BTW, if you're wondering what that elastic band is doing on his head, well that's what they use to keep the opponents from pulling their ears off in the scrum. And why rugby players are often teased about having "cabbage ears."
