WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Cold southwesterly winds are bringing snow to Christchurch but stalwarts Richie McCaw and Dan Carter are gambolling around like spring lambs as the Canterbury Crusaders prepare for their Super Rugby semi-final against a ravenous Sharks side.

McCaw, according to local media, was the first out of the changing sheds at training on Monday, barrelling along at full tilt while the rest of his team mates sauntered onto the field.
