A really disarming and charismatic guy. Not the side you would see when supporting the teams he was playing against, an extremely tough competitor and always haranguing the referee. One-on-one, he sounds absolutely fantastic.
Man...we lack leadership in the current AB squad..even the senior players need to look up to one player that can keep the team focused and calm ....we had Umaga-Reid-Mcaw ....yet no one has stepped up to this level of leadership..changing captains every years does not help out at all
I mean for starters our current captain isn't even the best 7 in NZ. Umaga, McCaw and Reid all were the best players in the position in NZ at that time. Dont really know how will be skip post 2023, Blackadder is a potential
Not a big fan of crusaders but I'm a fan of Counties Manukau and Blues. My wish for him to be in the Chiefs way back but oh well. But definitely the good players as an All Blacks and Counties Manukau 👍🏾👍🏾
Even though he won two world cups and was world rugby player of the year and all the other Championships I STILL can't put Read in my Greatest ABs 15 ahead of Zinzane Brooke🤷♂️ maybe ahead of Buck Shelford 🤔 but Read was all good though...
That 2015 all blacks team was crazy
Insane eh
It's a once in a generation team ...usually is with AB rugby...1995 2007 2015
@@Skybar23 95 and 07 team chocked hard. 2015 team was special
@@Erock1275 you don't need WC to be considered a great player...I'm talking about individual stars that stand out amongst thier peers....
From 1 - 30, that team was perfect
What a good fella. Most unassuming, and very down to earth guy. Looks healthy post footie. Class act
Rugby truly is the greatest sport on earth.
Nice one Reidy...One of the absolute greats!!!
not the best 8 Ive ever seen, but definitely love his credit to Hooper.
What a lovely guy.
He’s no slouch tbf tho
Legendary player.
Like most Kiwis, super chill and nice guy. Us Irish hate playing you, but what a bond we have after the game.
Awesome guy & leader for the ABs 😊👍
Big Thanks for the rugby memories KR
😂🤧he misses Michael Hopper
What a top bloke

Kieran Read is a truly good man indeed . a total team and family man indeed

To compound the problem of leaderless team they select Sam injury prone Cane as skipper

RESPECT bro 😎

same here mate
Read was better than any captain we have had since McCaw...Cane Whitelock ...Smith don't come close to Read in terms of leadership.
