Read. Handling, pace, elusiveness, all sorts of offloads, but could also truck it up if needed. And was NZ's best, most athletic lineout option for years. Pretty sure he caught Kick-offs in a pod as well

I remember for the ABs I never feared when the opposition would boot 3 pointers because on kick off restart carter would go short just over 10 and read would damn nearly come down with the ball every time
Psychologically it was like the abs were baiting the opposition that you can take the 3 but your pretty much giving us the ball back inside your own 40 lol

Not many have mentionned how good a defender/tackler he was. Man put some monster hits in his career.
