Commitment has been burnished by the All Black coaches and support staff, now it is up to the players and the leadership of Kieran Read to redress the blip in Chicago. Read has felt the impact of his side's first failure and seen the effects of that historic first defeat to Ireland 40-29 as his team regroups for a repeat chance tomorrow in Dublin. More from Read would help as well. Read remains a potent lineout force with driving grunt from the back of the scrum, usually reliable defensive hits and a close running game. We see Dane Coles doing that sort of business, why isn't Read doing something similar on the other flank?
