I thought Clarke played well, just did the basics, rather him at 11 than Ioane.
He’s a winger, not a 13 that used to play wing. Ioane selection smacks of wanting to keep him in the side because he’s on a AB contract.
If a player isn’t good enough or has to find form, drop them and give them feedback. If they are hungry enough and good enough, they’ll be back.
All Blacks used to be about being at the pinnacle of talent and form.

No wonder you have insane people like Shiggins from GAGR when the Aussie comms are behaving with a victim complex like that
In my case, it's nothing to do with the comms.
Piardi was inconsistent with a few calls, and the Wallabies got the rough end of more than their share.
My impression was the Wallabies were getting away with murder at the rucks. Unlucky that he decided the Wallabies scored from the maul which prevented the PT, but not much else.
At the same time, we didn't do smart things in the red zone.
That statement applies to both teams.

Beaudy in a sling. Don’t like to see players get injured but this could be a blessing for the ABs.

@Canerbry Jordie can stay, but yeah I agree Scott and Beauden need to be thanked and wished all the best in their future as former All Blacks.
I wouldn’t mind Ardie as captain, he seems to win a lot more than Scott.

Referee was erratic.
Time for DMac to start permanently at 10. About 9 months too late.
Shows how we missed Roigard, Holland and Pat T vs the Springboks.
QT very good.
Holland is a ball supply unit. Needs to start.
Carter going well. Exactly what we need.
Some of the Australian handling was superb.
Biggest moment of the match, Savea turnover. An absolute life saver. -

Selection is subjective and always has been under any coaching group. Plenty of players have been given time in an AB camp to regain form

The blessed life of the Barretts only gets disrupted by injury.
As you say, this isn't something you wish on any player but if the ABs go to Perth and Jordie is the last one there doesn't the team just look better overall ?
Beauden and Scott have done some terrific things in Black but when was the last time either of them did ? It's time to move on from them.

@Jet Hasn't been the same player since he left the Hurricanes.
That's probably that for his All Blacks career. He was part of the golden 2013 undefeated year and the magical 2015 World Cup win and he was a great player for most his tenure. A shame he went on too long.

I have a feeling Scott has been playing injured. But if he has, that is a black mark against the coaches.

You reckon ? or has he just hit the wall ?

I'm not the biggest Darry fan but the ABs could definitely use him in the squad. The starting duo of Vaai and Holland just doesn't have enough bulk and starch.
Wouldn't discard Scott Barrett as a player - just as a captain
Another example of a worrying selection in our forward pack - just like persisting with Sititi at 8 this season when clearly he needs a reset/spell out of the team and to come back.

Disclaimer: I'm completely guessing those weights.
