Kieran Read: The World Cup Final Call, Replacing Richie McCaw & Why He's Just Getting Started
About this episode
Kieran Read discusses his journey as a rugby leader and the next chapter of his life after retiring from professional sports.
Kieran Read is one of the greatest All Blacks of all time. Two-time World Cup winner, Crusaders legend, and the man who replaced Richie McCaw as captain with 800 tests of combined experience suddenly out the door. But four years on from his first appearance on Between Two Beers, the most interesting chapter of Kieran's story is only just beginning. In this episode we get into the leadership journey from the very start - Rosehill College, the PE teacher who changed everything, displacing Reuben Thorne at the Crusaders, calling the Teabag lineout in the 2011 World Cup final, the Argentina moment where the coaches walked out, what Steve Hansen told him that stung, and why going to Japan felt like dropping 100 kilograms. Plus his $300K lads fund, a whiskey barrel in Reefton, and the Kieran Reed Human Endeavour leadership course. Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by the legends at Barkers! Hosted on Acast.
