Re: Wallabies vs All Blacks: MATCH THREAD: Perth Aug 10
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...

Your critisisms maybe have genuine merit but we don't have much other choice, and I still think a good coach can easily instill the "skill" or running hard into a 24 year old, and as Olo said, he's already coming around.

If we want Cane and Savea on the field at the same time, then Read at 6 is the solution. Nope, Read played well enough against the Boks to dispel that silly 6 notion.
