MotM vs Australia III

[NTA]

I voted because I saw the game this time. It was a good game. Coles, Todd, Bus the standouts.

I was reading the list and thought "fuck was that guy even playing?"

[reprobate]

Todd. Crotty, Crockett.
At least I think that's what I clicked.

[dingo]

I thought it came down to choosing three of four guys. Coles Todd, TJP and J Savea. Thought Todd was good then wondered if he was part of the problem of offensive defense compared to Cane so went for the others.

[Kirwan]

Went for Todd, Savea and Smith

[African Monkey]

Todd, Perenara, Savea

[Bovidae]

Todd, Smith and J Savea (for 2nd half only)

[reprobate]

If Matt Todd were Marty holah or Duane monkey half you fluffybunnies would be creaming your pants. That's all I have to say about that right now.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Coles, Read, Kaino. Thought they played consistently well for the entire match. The latter 2 made some huge hits in defence.

Savea did some good stuff of course but plenty of shit as well. Todd had a good game but he did miss that tackle that led to the Aus try.

@Unco
ALB missed too many tackles to be named IMO.
I went for Coles, Todd and J. Savea.

[Crucial]

For the record, I even voted for two Cantabs.

Coles, Crotty and Todd for mine.

[Nepia]

Todd, Kaino, Coles

If Savea is in the running for MOTM then Kaino gets a point easy. Savea was on target to be this year's Lauaki/Rodney in Rustenburg before that final 20 minutes.

I voted for one Cantab, I think I may have hit my head cheering when Savea ran in his try.

[Bones]

Coles, Kaino, Crotty. All got in and did the shit work, tidy up and quite a few flash plays too.

[DMX]

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.

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

Todd, Kaino, Crotty

[taniwharugby]

Todd, Kaino and Coles.

Todd was excellent, got about and defence was huge in the second spell and was a nuisance at the breakdown.

Kaino was Kaino, as was Coles, man he is fast.

What to do with Julian, large parts he was rubbish, but had a couple of moments that I don't think anyone else could have done either, freakish.

[Siam]

Savea needs to feature in this.
We need 2 tries to seal the game and he scores them then puts on the third - a match winning performance in my book

[westcoastie]

Todd, Perenara - easy

Smith, because no Smith no tries for 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.

[Bones]

@Unco and @cgrant voted for Todd who let Arnold stroll right through him.

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.
