Former All Black Richie McCaw and wife Gemma have announced tonight that they are expecting their first baby.
"Rich and I are very excited to announce that we are expecting our first baby later this year," Gemma McCaw posted on Instagram tonight along with a photo of a tiny pair of Adidas running shoes between a mens' and womens' pair.
The pair married in a lavish wedding in Wanaka in January last year.
Hundreds of messages of congratulations have already flooded in since Gemma, a former Black Stick, posted the announcement.
