@Crucial Read isn't available this week - as part of the agreement with his Japanese club
Cheers. I missed what the arrangements are. Do you know?

@Crucial I posted something I read in the paper after the Ta$man game. Read was only allowed to play 40 mins in that game and is likely to miss most of CM's away games.
Here it is:
Counties play Hawke’s Bay in Napier next weekend, but Read revealed he won’t be playing, as the deal between his Japanese club Toyota and Counties Manukau does have some playing restrictions to it, which included only playing 40 minutes in this game. “We’re working with my Japan club in terms of minutes,” he said. “So 40 minutes today and it felt good and we’ll work to progress that as we move through the season.” Stuff understands Read will be available to play 80 minutes for Counties in two week’s time, against Northland, but may have to miss one or two away games after that. “I’ll probably be good to go from now on, but I’m not playing every game,” he said. “I’m not available for every game this year, so it will depend, but when I do play from now on, I’m good to play as long as they want me to.”

That doesn't say he will miss this one. I guess we will find out.

@Crucial The first line in that sentence?
You expect reading comprehension on a Friday morning? Fuck your expectations are high!
The journo was David Long, who has admitted that he has often been wrong with predictions, so you never know...
