RWC: MOTM v South Africa
-
Ardie, SB, and ALB. Anton's footwork was awesome when he'd jink back to break open a gap. Ardie continues to shine, standing out physically when playing SA is no mean feat. They have some absolute units. SB is bringing the heat!!

I agree. I fucked up my vote and gave George Bridge a vote. (I liked his game but definitely not too 3 on the park)
I’ve carried the Scott Barrett faith and it has been repaid in spades.
Immense at the breakdown and on the collisions against some of the toughest lads in test rugby.

Ardie , BB and ALB for me.
Yep. Ditto for me, though Crotty woud get a 4th vote
Thought the Crotty/ALB combo worked really, really well.

First 3 - Ardie, Whitelock, B. Barrett
Second 3 - ALB, Crotty, S. Barrett
Next 3 - Moody, A. Smith, Mo’unga -
So after my rewatch - ALB, Scott Barrett (his best game in black by some distance, actually lived up to the hype some have been giving him for a while) ... the third was hard to choose between BB, A Smith and Ardie. Ruled out Ardie due to some defensive issues and have decided for BB since I'd normally go for A Smith.
What I also noticed was that Ardie and BB were helped to perform well by the performance of their partners/competition - Mo'unga actually had a really good game and Cane was physically imposing himself at ruck time.
