If you were worried about missing the chance to support the All Blacks during the Rugby World Cup at your local, fear not.

One place that's stoked with that result is Kurow, where two-time World Cup-winning All Black captain Richie McCaw hails from.

Morning Report's Lucy Smith spoke to the publican Ross Paton from the Kurow Hotel.
