[ACT Crusader]

J Barrett, Retallick, Mo’unga

Next best - Whitelock, Lomax, Ioane, Papalii

[reprobate]

Both locks and jordie.

[ARHS]

Jordie by a mile. Lomax and Retallick lead the charge. Sam Whitelock just misses.

Jordie Barrett gets the top vote.

At the game he was by far the stand out, exceptional.

Opposite end of the scale we should never see Taylor in black again, appalling

Lol as it stands Jordie has 17 votes and RM 0 yet RM got MOM.

NZ doesn't do MotM, so obviously from the Ozzies. They really should've picked Taylor, best ozzie on the pitch, by a considerable margin

Really?

I mean seriously?

Seemed to me he had worked out he was Codie Taylor.

My MOTM. Will take some convincing he wasn't. Having said that am happy to rewatch with evidence to convince me otherwise .

[sparky]

Jordie B, Whitelock, BBBR.

Honourable mentions to: Papali'i, Lomax, Reiko Ioane and Will Jordan.

Good stuff.

His line out throwing was shit, that's a key point. I don't care of he did other stuff well or ok, if he can't do that, he should be gone

Yeah. OK. I'll try and look at his throws when I get a chance. FYI Sami missed a couple too ... let's drop him ...

[Bones]

Jordie, Brodie, Ardie. Unlucky for Whitelock and Lomax.

Yeah I think with Codie it's just that he wasn't the awful player he's been the last couple of years and it was surprising to see him look like an adequate test player.

Ropey as throwing though.

[MajorPom]

Jordie, Rieko, Brodie

[booboo]

@Nepia some of us are prepared to see past our preconceptions.

[taniwharugby]

Jordie and our 2 pensioner locks!

DP, BB, TL all deserving mentions too.

[Winger]

Tough 2nd and third pick. Went for Jordie (1st easily) and lomax and Jordan

[Crucial]

I try to look at this based on who had the biggest positive influence on the game.
Jordie an obvious one but I thought that it was partly due to the work inside him, particularly by Lomax and the locks that carried straight and hard and sucked in the Oz strongpoint of their looses. That meant that Jordie was able to run at Foley and some scrambling forwards and we could rinse and repeat.
That really sucked the energy out of Oz and we reaped the rewards with space or makeshift defence out wide.
Kind of how some of the NH teams play and made us look like Oz did last night.

[antipodean]

Lomax had a vastly improved game, but there's no way I can give a bloke who missed as many tackles as the rest of the team combined a point.

Dalton got through a mountain of defensive work. Akira played tight and stopped momentum, key moments like ripping the ball near our line.

Brodie looked back to his pre-Japan form.

Jordie's game was near faultless. Superb defence, big runs, great passing.

What do you mean "some"? You're on an island of one.
