Ex-All Blacks captain Kieran Read is excited at the prospect of finally taking to the field in the Top League this weekend.
Perhaps even more enticing for the two-time World Cup champion is that he gets to play alongside, rather than against, his former long-time rival Michael Hooper.
The pair are expected to play together for the first time in their careers when Toyota Verblitz open their campaign against Toshiba Brave Lupus in Nagoya on Saturday.
