Kieran Read is finally on the cusp of making his long‑awaited comeback.
According to Steve Hansen the sight of Read, who hasn't played since undergoing spinal surgery in December and relinquished the All Blacks captaincy to Sam Whitelock for the French series, attempting to get away with murder at trainings is a terrific sign.
The good news is the 32‑year‑old is running freely and relishing contact.
This means Read may be back in charge of the All Blacks for their first Bledisloe Cup match against the Wallabies in Sydney on August 18.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks will meet France at 7.35pm tomorrow.
In other test matches tomorrow, Japan will take on Georgia at 5.45pm while the Wallabies will play Ireland at 10pm.
On Sunday, South Africa will take on England at 3.05am, Argentina will play Scotland at 4.40am while Canada will take on USA at 7.30am..
