MOTM v Ireland

[Damo]

Smith and Read obvious. Could have been any of 5 or 6 others for the final pick. I went for Goodhue. Accomplished performance and one amazing offload for the second try that basically was enough to win.

@Duluth yeah I created a poll same time as Booboo and I didnt have numbers and they were still in some random order.

INteresting that the 'official' MOTM isnt getting anywhere near as much love on here....

If I were to back down and vote - then - bang.

[Chris B.]

Moody was great - can't remember a better game from him. Whether he was one of the best three might be a bit of a moot point because most were very good, but I'm voting for him.

[canefan]

Like most multiple choice questions this poll should have an "all of the above" option for the boys last night. Brilliant performance

[taniwharugby]

@canefan nah, I'm dark on ALB for last night...didnt score a try and I didnt win any money!

[antipodean]

Read, Smith and Beaudy.

Could easily have given a heap more players votes in what was a superb team effort.

[ARHS]

Smith Read and Reece

[canefan]

Reece had an outstanding game

[Snowy]

For the first time in a while it would actually be easier to mention who had a bad game (and I am struggling to do that).

Ofa.

Gave away a stupid PK almost as soon as he came on. Scrum was noticeably weaker as well.

[Toddy]

Todd wasn't great either. Yellow card and a penalty try in about 20 minutes of rugby

[rotated]

Smith. Reece. Read.

Pretty much everyone was above average except Bridge where the action all went the other way and Todd who was dire.

[Machpants]

Your being hard on bridge, he does so much, watching the re play now

His work rate is his strong point, not so much his ability to beat defenders . I guess it’s a different type of 11 that we have grown accustomed to. He isn’t big brown and fast .

[Machpants]

@kiwiinmelb yeah Reece is doing that strike role, bridge the extra full back organiser role

Yep they have reversed the roles to the other side of the field , it worked that way for the crusaders I guess, so they kept them in their familiar numbers .

[Nevorian]

I thought Bridge had a pretty handy game, always took a couple of defenders to take him down and even then he would make a few extra metres in the tackle, total metres carried was over 100, safe under the high ball and even scrapping at the breakdown on a few occassions

[Machpants]

@Nevorian yes highest metres by a large margin
