Former Black Sticks star Gemma McCaw has announced she is expecting a child.
McCaw and her helicopter pilot husband Richie, who also played 148 matches for the All Blacks, were married in January 2017 and the child will be their first.
The 246-game Black Stick represented New Zealand at three Olympic Games, and won a silver medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and a bronze at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Posting on Instagram, McCaw didn't waste words in announcing the news: "Rich and I are very excited to announce that we are expecting our first baby later this year."
