Watch: 'You can start there next week then' – Steve Hansen keeps Kieran Read in check

November 19, 2017

The All Blacks coach threatened to play Read at lock against Wales next week.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen and captain Kieran Read traded jokes at this morning's press conference, after the 22-17 win over Scotland in Edinburgh this morning.

With lock Luke Romano injured, Read switched from number eight to lock in the last moments of the game, something that he was happy to point out to his coach.

"We found a way to win a scrum under our goalposts with old skip (Read) having to go to lock - he didn't like that much," Hansen said.

"That's where the power came from," Read joked.

"Well you can start there next week then aye son," Hansen rebutted leaving the gathered media in stitches.
