[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1004944, member: 70552"] Read’s best season was 2013. The same year as the game of the decade for me when NZ beat the Boks at Ellis Park for the RC. Phenomenal year as I recall. Probably not the same player post 2015 with the concussion issues but still one of the most respected AB players from an overseas point of view. I think those who think he’s “criminally overrated” will only truly appreciate him when he’s gone over the next few years. Savea for me is not an 8. And not sure about the new one from the Blues who’ll take his time settling in at test level and there’s not a guarantee he’ll reach the same consistency levels. Even Dallaglio rated him as the best number 8 he’d seen. And he knew a thing or two about playing number 8. [/QUOTE]
