MotM vs South Africa I

3 votes as usual.

Cane, Smith, Whitelock for me. Special mention to Tu'ungafasi, Read, Retallick, the Barretts, NMS and R. Ioane. I don't think anyone had a bad game.

[Tim]

SBW. NZ midfield is 100% dependent on him.

Retallick, OFA, Cane, and others very good too!

[Stargazer]

Ioane, Barrett and Barrett are my picks.

[Bones]

@Stargazer wow - what about Beauden stood out for you?

[Bones]

Coles, Cane, Smith. Honorable mention to Retallick and Ioane.

Beauden did some great things (as always). Sometimes he made bad decisions though which could cost you in a close game. The cross field kick before half time was very poor. We scored some tries with him on the field I don't think we would have scored otherwise.

[Bones]

@hydro11 Seemed most of his "attacking" kicks were pretty poop. Decided to take it up into traffic a lot too, which I thought often wasn't needed. Definitely not one of his best games IMO, certainly not even in the top 5-6 players.

[Billy Tell]

Barrett. Barrett. Cane.

Although Bones tells me BB didn't have a good game so no doubt I'm wrong.

[reprobate]

both locks and smith. cane was great too, but the locks did it for longer.

[Bones]

@Billy-Tell It's ok to be wrong.

[No Quarter]

A Smith, Rieko and Cane all really stood out for me.

[Tim]

LOL, one vote for SBW who completely transformed the backline with his lines and physical impact.

[Number 10]

As always though, Tim, the only three votes that count are the ones cast by Steve Hansen, Ian Foster and Grant Fox.

[Bones]

@Tim Yeah, possibly just the Blues players who saw that complete transformation...

[reprobate]

@Tim jeez tim, i dunno - he played okay and made less errors than usual, but he's not even top 6 for me... the tries were:
aaron smith tapping and kicking for ioane
NMS intercept with BB
BB cross kick. coles-nms-scott barrett
ioane breaking then coles-retallick (admittedly sbw ran a nice support line here)
BB skip pass to NMS
ofa t burrowing
alb breaking for sopoaga
taylor from a maul

[ACT Crusader]

Ioane, Cane, Whitelock.

Smith a very unlucky fourth.

[KiwiMurph]

Rieko, Aaron Smith and Cane.

[mimic]

Reex, Smith and Ofa
