All Blacks captain out to make his own mark

All Blacks captain Kieran Read is looking to make his own mark after he took over as captain from Richie McCaw.

Not only that, he has a team devoid of experience and history which came with the retirement of Dan Carter, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Kevin Mealamu, and Tony Woodcock.

Read says he wants do something different and make his own mark on the black jersey and leave a lasting legacy like the skippers before him.

He says he plans to take the balance of power away from potentially coaches and have no boundaries between senior players and guys coming in.

Meanwhile, the All Blacks play Ireland at 9am next Sunday where they will also be wearing their newly unveiled jersey.
