Duncan Johnstone, of the Dominion Post, believes Graham Henry should be knighted but the honouring of Richie McCaw should wait.
"It's too early to be thinking about knighting Richie McCaw - give the gong to Graham Henry instead.
We wait to see if Prime Minister John Key was speaking in jest when he said McCaw would be Sir Richie if the All Blacks won the Rugby World Cup. But there have already been suggestions that move is in the pipeline for the New Year honours list.
At the age of 30 and with a new four-year contract set to begin, it seems awkward to knight him while he's still running around with sprigs on.
I reckon McCaw might think the same way."
