All Blacks captain Richie McCaw will be trying not to get caught up in sentiment against Argentina on Friday.

McCaw, along with Dan Carter, will pull on the black jersey in Christchurch for the last time when they take on the Pumas, but in such an important rugby year, the New Zealand captain knows where his focus should lie.

"I don't want to get caught up too much in it. I want to play well for the team, I want the team to play well with what's a big year and I'm just excited about that rather than worrying about whether I get to play here again," McCaw said.

"If you get too wound up in that, I think that takes your focus away from what you need to do. The best thing you can do is personally play well and the team play well and then you can have a smile afterwards and reflect a wee bit."
