Kiwi Ironman told kicking with Richie McCaw ‘tarnishes his achievements’

Ironman competitor Cameron Brown has been attacked on social media after publicly supporting disgraced footballer Richie McCaw.
McCaw arrived in Auckland on Sunday and met with Brown for a kick around in an Auckland park.
Brown took his son on the ride and posted a photo of the trio on Facebook, to which he was heavily trolled for his involvement with McCaw.
“Well I am disappointed for you Cam in my view it tarnishes your achievements and he shouldn’t be validated by association with you. You grafted hard for everything you achieved you should protect that,” one follower commented.
“Sorry Cam. But he was a relentless cheat. The way he and his team-mates ruined our memory of the 2011 RWC final with his cheating is possibly even worse than the way they cheated their opponents,” added another. “Cheat not to be looked up to.”
However, not all were bad, with many people simply commenting on the meeting as “awesome”.
Brown spoke of his admiration for McCaw on NewstalkZB, in spite of the ex-captain’s low reputation in France.
“I watched him for 10 years competing in the All Blacks and it was quite incredible to kick with him,” Brown said. “I’d never met him before so it was pretty special. My little boy’s getting into rugby now so I took him along and Richie was great. I think he’s probably just trying to forget about the past and move on. And hopefully rugby fans can forgive him but probably there’s a lot of people—especially in France—that can’t.”
However, the reaction to Brown and McCaw’s meeting drew severe reaction online, resulting in the Ironman withdrawing from a scheduled interview with Mike “Contra” Hosking this morning.

publications like The Standard that I know you read avidly JohnO so technically
he could be called a journalist. I prefer the word hack. He is anti semitic,
anti business, anti tall poppies and anti anything that his lack of ability
prevents him from aspiring to. He also writes vicious articles about people who
cannot defend themselves, usually because they have died and does so in a
cowardly way by virtue of his hidden real name. Ricjh quite likes him, what a
surprise!
