Hear from Prime Minister John Key, Sir Colin Meads, All Blacks Richie McCaw and Dan Carter and Sir Graham’s good mate Sir Peter Leitch.

Plus, a few of his mates who just happen to be some of New Zealand’s greatest will pay tribute to the man who broke the 24 year curse and restored the All Blacks to the top of the rugby pedestal.
