All Blacks MOTM v France

reprobate

Vaai, his first 20 minutes were superb.
Williams. Really good.
Clarke.
Savea was good at 7 eh? Best game of his year. Wallace not so good at 8. Both too small for that close in role I reckon.
Taylor continued his good year.

He played 6 for most of the match

mariner4life

Stationed out wide where our 6 has been all year.

reprobate

Ah yeah true, regardless: wide channels is good for both of them.

Nepia

Damn, seems like everyone else saw a different Ardie than I did. Thought he was ok, some good runs in that 6 channel as mariner mentioned, but still not peak Ardie and/or MOTM Ardie for me.

Might have to do a Reuben Thorne style rewatch of the game to see where I went wrong.

reprobate

@Nepia there's nothing really contradictory in what you're saying.

One awesome run to set up a try aside, I didn't come away thinking he'd had a massive performance. Strangely Lakai appeared most visible in a positive sense.

Not strange. He played like that all SR season. For what SR form is worth.....

So Savea really is our bench loosie utility and we have 7 + 8 sorted but still need a regular 6?

Keeping an eye on Haig and also Holland's brother (hope he isn't still a Chiefs fan https://hail.to/kings-high-school/publication/HPenrlK/article/P91VB95)

Cam, DMac, Williams

Mr Fish

Roigard, Clarke and Lakai for me.

Williams not far off but a couple of mispasses cost the All Blacks two tries.

Vaa'i was there or thereabouts too. Lomax strong but didn't get the just desserts he probably deserves at the scrum. Savea would be in if it was based on the first 40 minutes. McKenzie very good in the final 20.

I feel like we need a shaming function here - who the hell voted for Jordan, SB or BB??!!

Victor Meldrew

Went Roigard, Williams and Vaa'i. Honorable mentions to Reiko, RD and Lakai.

You know you can click on the vote total and it tells you who did it?
