There's nothing special about the way the Boks play‚ says All Blacks captain Read

“I expect the same‚” said Read when asked in what way the Boks might vary their approach from the way they challenged the All Blacks in their recent 16-all draw in Wellington.“They are physical‚ they’re kicking well‚ and they take the points when they’re on offer using their strengths like their maul.

“This is probably the first time I’m the biggest looseforward out there‚” Read said with a wry smile. “Across the board we have to be physical against the SA team. I pride myself on my defence.” His presence in concert with Cane means the All Blacks will have two proficient ball stealers in their back row.
