Seven Sharp - The Three-Way Handshake with John Key & Richie McCaw
Television (Excerpts) – 2019
Few moments in New Zealand sport are as awkward as the infamous 2011 Rugby World Cup's “three-way handshake”. This short Seven Sharp clip brings All Blacks legend Richie McCaw and former Prime Minister John Key into the studio to revisit the moment. With McCaw clutching the Webb Ellis Cup and International Rugby Board chairman Bernard Lapasset at his side, Key swoops in to congratulate, setting off a simultaneous handshake between all three men. The guests reflect on the cringeworthy event, while hosts Hilary Barry and Jeremy Wells attempt an in-studio re-creation — with predictably clumsy results.
For years I've been maligned over this, and then, look, I mean, it's awkward...– John Key revisits the moment of the handshake
