Only 2 contenders today. Telea and Cam

Yup, didn't bother with a third

[MiketheSnow]

Telea, Nugget, Ardie

[frugby]

Telea, Smith and Roigard.

[booboo]

Telea, and of the others Rieko did nothing wrong and Ardie tried hard.

[KiwiMurph]

Roigard, Telea and Ardie.

@sparky

Jordan was ok made a couple of try savings tackles, made some ground on the run.

[mariner4life]

Telea easy
Whitelock was a standout when we were under the pump, and won a defensive lineout
Jordan was a constant threat

Honourable mention to roigard who scored a try, ran with purpose, cleared well, and put in the biggest AB kick in years

[mariner4life]

Astounded Ardie is getting votes. Ineffective in the tackle, no run impact, nothing at the ruck.

[Nepia]

Roigard, Telea, Rieko (got the didn't make as many stuff ups as other players award).

Yeah his poorest performance for some time. In fact the whole back row had a night to forget.

[kidcalder]

I feel we missed Frizzell - no dominant tackles the boks knew they would make ground everytime.
If no Frizzell we need a beast at 6 and LJ isn't that (he didn't get much of a run admittedly) he is more a workhouse than a cruncher, Finau could be that guy but needs tests v the best.

The standard he sets for himself and on which he delivers most matches is the reason he is always mentioned as ‘best in position’ ‘first on the team sheet’ etc

He didn’t meet those lofty standards last night but was still head and shoulders above the rest

Did a lot of the dirty work that gets unseen

[Victor Meldrew]

Telea, Mo'unga & Roigard. Honorable mention to Reiko - didn't fuck up that much despite playing outside of Jordie

[Hooroo]

Barrett trio for treating the game as a Mickey Mouse friendly like it was.

@MiketheSnow

They know their rugby in Cornwall and when they twig I'm a kiwi they almost invariably end up telling me what a great player they think Ardie is.

They were like Huey, Dewey and Louie last night - seemingly minus the brains.

This is kinda like voting for the least tragically injured person in the room after a fragmentation grenade goes off...
