He should have been our number 8 for years. Kieren Read MKII. If he was a kiwi he would have been a test legend. I don't think so mate. He was always trying to show pony a bit and do fancy things and go for gallops down the wing, etc. Which is all well and good, especially if it worked, but we need...
