The team recorded special messages of support for those who have served New Zealand in conflict and operations over the past century. All Blacks captain Kieran Read encouraged Kiwis to take a moment to remember those who lost loved ones, and the families who carried on. ``It's a privilege to carry a poppy on our jersey and in some small way play a part in remembering them.''
