All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has always been known as a danger around the breakdown but during The Rugby Championship he has become a tackling machine.
McCaw has attempted 80 tackles during the tournament and made a staggering 78 of them and Fox Sports rugby analyst Rod Kafer has implored the Wallabies to avoid the champion flanker.

Speaking on Fox Sports' The Rugby Club, Kafer said the Wallabies had targeted McCaw on several occasions in recent Tests and been punished for it.
"The Wallabies have often attacked through a narrow channel - right at Richie McCaw," he said.
"They've got to think about not taking the ball at McCaw because he's not going to miss the tackle, they've got to get it out to the guys a little wider."
Kafer said McCaw dominated the breakdown through his tackling and physicality.
"He's a player who's redefined how you play the game at the breakdown," he said.
"He's so physical, he wins the collision, he knocks you down behind the game line, then he's a chance to steal the ball and we know how good a pilferer of the ball he is."
The Wallabies will attempt to break New Zealand's 17-Test winning streak when the rivals meet at Suncorp Stadium this Saturday.
Watch the Wallabies take on the All Blacks LIVE from 8pm (EDT) on Saturday on Fox Sports 3HD.
Earlier in the night, Australia No.8 Wycliff Palu was The Rugby Club's special guest and said it would be a tough challenge against the All Blacks.
"They're a really good side at the moment but we just have to worry about ourselves and get ourselves right," he said.
"Hopefully that will make us play well on the weekend."
"I think stopping their momentum (is key). They like to get over the advantage line, so if we can stop that it will make our job a lot easier.
"It's going to be won and lost up front and this week is no different. All the boys have talked about it and come Saturday we'll see what happens."
