Kieran Read has gone global - he's the man everyone in Europe can't stop talking about and he's the man most pundits here are expecting to be named IRB Player of the Year. Read's influence is huge, as it has been pretty much all year. Think back and so many of the best bits of the All Blacks in 2013 involve Read.

All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster said Ireland's closer defeats last year in Auckland (42-10) and Christchurch were more representative of the threat they possessed than the Hamilton blowout. Of the upcoming test at Aviva Stadium, the All Blacks' 14th and final one of the year: "Playing in Dublin is pretty special for us. Nothing has come easy for us here.''

After witnessing Richie McCaw hand back the Webb Ellis Cup, Patrick McKendry and Gregor Paul wonder if the All Blacks will be able to win it back in the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

McCaw held aloft the Cup just over two years ago at Eden Park after the All Blacks beat France 8-7 to end a 24-year wait for a second World Cup success and in the two years since the trophy has toured New Zealand and allowed thousands of fans to get up close to it. "It's certainly a little bit different handing it back, I guess that means we've won it,'' McCaw said. "Every time I see it I remember the great times of two years ago.''

Sam Whitelock and Julian Savea reflect on the test played against England won by the AB's 30-22.

Hard slog and a classy lineout got the All Blacks home this morning in London. Seriously hard slog as it happens as England were a tough nut to crack. These Poms are not bad.

In the end Goliath was just too big for David - and David Tua ended his heavyweight boxing career in retirement. With the words: "It's time for me to do something else, I think", Tua is gone from the ranks of the heavyweights and retired as New Zealand's leading modern boxer.

A ripped and ready David Tua says what motivated him to get into great shape was a fear of dying when he faces off against Belarusian Alexander Ustinov in Hamilton tomorrow night. Tua, 40, tipped the scales at 107.5kg in front of a gathering of media, entourages and other onlookers at the pre-fight weigh in at the Claudelands Events Centre ahead of his career-defining clash tomorrow night.

Julian Savea has been brought straight back into the All Blacks for winger Cory Jane in the only change to the starting 15 for Sunday morning’s revenge test against England at Twickenham.
