ALB missed too many tackles to be named IMO.
I went for Coles, Todd and J. Savea.A fair point, probably should've given that vote to Crotty, but then Savea made a shit-ton of mistakes too and yet he's getting heaps of votes.
-
Ben Smith , Todd and Coles. Ben Smith has to be in the All Black great category now, he is a treasure. Todd I think booked his touring ticket, can't leave him behind now. Savea was dreadful in the first half but two sensational tries and an assist in the second I made up for it but not enough to earn a vote imho.

Be interesting who gets the World Player of the Year award. Not sure whether a raft of AB contenders could take one-another out, but It would be between Ben Smith, Dane Coles and Beauden Barrett for me - and right now, I've probably got Ben edging it.

Crotty had his fair share of errors.. Missed tackles plus the knock on that led to Savea's try.. Our defence was poor.. Basically everyone missed a tackle.. Even Read made a bad read on Foles..

I would've had Barrett, although one thing Coles might have over the others is captaining his super side to victory...

General play, I'd probably agree. I guess I'm holding Beaudy's goal kicking a bit against him. Someone's doubtless got stats for it - but, I doubt he's at 70% for the ABs or the whole year.
-
We probably didn't have a standout performer for 80 this match or even 70.
Probably Ben Smith comes close, but he made a mistake or two. But overall he was our best and most consistent performer.
Todd, Crotty, Savea did a lot of good things but like everyone there were errors.
Some interesting stats, we missed 24 tackles which is high. But OZ had a mountain of possession and they missed 20 tackles of their own.
-
After a relaxed re-watch, I change my votes and go for Coles, TJP and Smith as they were consistent. Todd missed that tackle on Arnold and Savea was not good enough in the first half.
Worst performances were Barrett's because of his goalkicking, and Cruden's because of his kicking from hand. -

A pity for Todd that his one missed tackle stands out more than all the other missed tackles in the game - also in that lead up he'd actually made a crucial tackle which helped stop a try being scored earlier.

Hmmmm, so my placing Kaino first based on some rock star tackles looking shaky.

4 misses by Moody is a worry!

I think that's his "thing" to go along with Franks' "must begin with an offside penalty".

Our entire team was offside the first few phases, until the ref puts down the marker.
I spent the first minute if the match (internally) shouting at us to get onside.

Nope, look at the amount of votes Savea got and his first half performance was one of the worst by an AB ever, yet two tries in the last 20 have sealed his top 3 placing.

@No-Quarter my guess is that was a big piece of bait that Nepia has had sitting waiting to use...

He's been trying to bait people ever since Savea proved him wrong again after the match. He's getting more and more extreme with each comment, now he's just taking the piss.
All I can say about Savea is thank fuck Hansen and co are selectors and not some of the blokes on here, without his performance that game could have gone down to the wire.
