MotM vs British and Irish Lions, Game One

[hydro11]

3 Votes as usual.

[hydro11]

I went Retallick, Read and Cruden. Cane deserved a vote too.

[Tim]

SBW, Cane, Retallick.

With the forwards it was tricky as they all faded during that "difficult" period. That demands another watch.

Whitelock made at least one important lineout steal.

[mariner4life]

Don't know how to split cane, retallick, read, dagg and A smith.

[antipodean]

Decided Retallick, Cane and Dagg. Hate to think what would have happened if they weren't on the field.

Hard done by are the rest of the forwards, A Smith and SBW. Only three votes to give.

Yeah, Dagg was as good as any of my picks.

Cruden provided great guidance around the field. His only mistake was missing touch on a kick. If Ben Smith isn't there, I hope they pick Barrett at fullback next week.

[Stargazer]

Picked Retallick, Read and Dagg.

Thought Cane, Taylor (minus 2 line-outs late in the game) and BB went well, too. Special mention goes to Crockett, who again managed to have a huge impact as soon as he came on, scrumming the pussycats to pieces.

[Nepia]

Cane, Retallick, and Dagg. Read and Kaino were in the mix also. Actually most of the pack. SBW was decent as well. Ioane good when he got the ball.

[gt12]

Fuck! I didn't vote for Retallick, or Whitelock!

Cane, Dagg, Read.

But I think I fucked up. Can I have more votes?

[mimic]

I went with Kaino, Cane and Read.
Locks lost some points cos of the lineout work.
Kaino and Cane looked as if they were given the order to empty the tank with Barrett and Ardie to replace them..

[Rembrandt]

best test from Dagg in a long time

[Crucial]

BBBR, Cane and I went SBW a shade over KR

[Bones]

Went with Whitelock, Retallick and Read. Almost swapped Read for Moody due to Read being the instigator for that first Lions try with the poor decision...but I'll give him a break since he's hardly played.

Well, another of his kicks led to the Lions first try when the AB were going forward and the Lions defense beginning to crack under pressure. He also missed his tackle on Williams. Otherwise, not a bad effort from him but not good enough to be named in a MOTM thread.
I went with Retallick, Read and Dagg.

[Crucial]

Whenever these polls are set up they should have one auto vote for BBBR and then you get two choices

[Billy Tell]

Forwards win matches. Retallick, Cane and hugely impressive in his return, Read.

[broughie]

Retallick, SBW and Dagg (and I am not a big homer for this guy). Although they did not start Ardie and Charlie were excellent.

Yeah I went with the same, whole team faded for a patch.

BBBR just did what he does, Cane was everywhere on attack and defence, and Dagg was the pick of our backs, saved our nuts...although struggled under the high ball #bringbackcory

SPecial mentions to A Smith, Read, Kaino, Ioane, Moody
