    Smith. Reece. Read.

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

    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 .

    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 .

    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

    Not bagging Bridge. It was a rare game where everyone played better than their usual performance and the ball didn’t go Bridge’s way. Hardly had a mare... Todd On the other hand made SBWs cameo in the 2011 semi look stellar.

    can we add Snowy and Sparky for providing constant score updates in the match thread please?

    Thank the All Blacks who did the scoring instead. Wouldn't have updated the score if I hadn't been happy with it.

    Read: Don't think I've seen a better performance from an AB Number 8. Was superb in attack and defence.

    Smith: Signature performance of his career. Constantly lively and accurate. Made life very difficult for Ireland.

    Third vote could have gone to lots of the players, but I gave mine to Sam Whitelock. The ultimate team man kept crashing into things all game long and never tired.

    You need to watch the match again. Bridge was fine.

    Read, Smith, Mo’unga (just ahead of Savea).

    Had a decent MOTM bet on Smith and even though he went off after 60mins I thought he might have done enough...

    Reckon they'd pay out on a TSF poll?

    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.

    Moody looks like he may have used the month in camp to his advantage, he looked the fittest and healthiest I can recall in awhile.that week off may have done the whole squad a favour.

    According to espn Bridge made 15 runs for 117 metres, most metres by any player, Reece had 11 for 54 but had 8 defenders beaten to Bridges 4. But combined these two young wingers were exceptional.
