Jordie Barrett gets the top vote.

JB was a revelation at 12. Lomax played great. Strong captain's knock by Sam Whitelock

[Kirwan]

JB was phenomenal, best performance of a 12 for years.

Dalton and Whitelock were my other picks. Akira was great as well.

[Crucial]

Went for Lomax, BBBR and Jordie.
Jordie being more involved went really well. Given the shape of the game I need more evidence to tell me he’s a good 12 but if that’s what happens when he’s there then I’m very happy for him to stay there for the RWC.
Edit: close vote between BBBR and Sam. Went for Brodie on a couple of moments.

[booboo]

Taylor, Lomax, Papalii.

Couldn't bring myself to vote for Mo'unga. Was wondering how I could take points off him though ...

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan Same 3 from me.

[Tim]

de Groot had some real fire out there tonight.

[Old Samurai Jack]

DeGroot, Lomax, and Jodie but I needed four votes for BBBR!

Lol as it stands Jordie has 17 votes and RM 0 yet RM got MOM.

You're shitting me?

[Bovidae]

After regularly criticising Lomax I'm going to give him some love. His best game for the ABs. Jordie and TBD.

[ACT Crusader]

J Barrett, Retallick, Mo’unga

Next best - Whitelock, Lomax, Ioane, Papalii

[reprobate]

Both locks and jordie.

[ARHS]

Jordie by a mile. Lomax and Retallick lead the charge. Sam Whitelock just misses.

At the game he was by far the stand out, exceptional.

Opposite end of the scale we should never see Taylor in black again, appalling

NZ doesn't do MotM, so obviously from the Ozzies. They really should've picked Taylor, best ozzie on the pitch, by a considerable margin

Really?

I mean seriously?

Seemed to me he had worked out he was Codie Taylor.

My MOTM. Will take some convincing he wasn't. Having said that am happy to rewatch with evidence to convince me otherwise .

[sparky]

Jordie B, Whitelock, BBBR.

Honourable mentions to: Papali'i, Lomax, Reiko Ioane and Will Jordan.

Good stuff.

His line out throwing was shit, that's a key point. I don't care of he did other stuff well or ok, if he can't do that, he should be gone
