1. Find a quote from the main person in this news article
Richie McCaw voiced his support for a new national flag on Social Media;“This is the moment when I decided a new flag would be great for our country. Running out at Twickenham and seeing the two flags looking so similar. The silver fern has always been the special symbol on the All Black jersey that represents who we are as kiwis, so the new flag with a silver fern as a part of it would be a great option I believe.”

In the finals of the Rugby World Cup, the two flags i.e. Australia and New Zealand flew side by side. Being so similar it was perhaps confusing to the thousands who had gathered for the game.
