Video: All Blacks fan meets Richie McCaw, is overcome with excitement

One fan got the surprise of his life when he stumbled across the All Blacks legend in the most unlikely of circumstances, and his reaction told the whole story.

Bronson Kapita couldn't contain his excitement when he stumbled across two-time World Cup winner Richie McCaw at a Nelson petrol station, reaching immediately for his cellphone for a chance at a treasured selfie.

Of course, McCaw was happy to oblige the delirious fan who continually exclaimed the former All Blacks captain's name, although had to take one brief moment of pause just to confirm it was indeed who he thought it was.

Kapita shared the video on his Facebook page and it's since gone viral, viewed thousands of times since it was posted late Wednesday night.
