As Rob Howley and his coaches churn through the stats before picking their team to face Ireland – then pour over them again during the game – Peter Jackson points to a country where Ross Moriarty’s contribution would be measured by the eyes, rather than a computer. Kieran Read stands out in a land of giants for a reason other than his status as leader of the best team on the planet. His name springs to mind over the chorus of international coaches babbling on about the Test arena having escalated into a 23-man game. In that event, nobody has told the captain of New Zealand… and nobody will.
