The 63-year-old has been appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to sport and the community.

He says he feels awkward about the fuss the honour will generate in the community. ‘‘It will be somewhat embar- rassing dealing with all the well- wishers, especially when the news of the award becomes public.

RICHARD KNOWLER

New All Blacks captain Kieran Read began to earn his dough as a rugby player when he started for Canterbury in a Ranfurly Shield defence at Lancaster Park in 2006. Then a callow 20-year-old from South Auckland, he started at blindside flanker when Canter- bury repulsed Wairarapa Bush’s challenge with a 96-10 win. Read made his Super Rugby debut against the Blues at Eden Park in 2007 and was selected for the All Blacks the following year.
