Reiko, Samisoni and Aaron Smith.
Same.
Ditto. Ardie came close as did Coles.
EDIT: Thought QT did OK for an inexperienced guy in a tough Test match. Webber is streets ahead of TJP
Ardie got a stupid yellow, gave away at least on other penalty and had a number of loose carries. He doesn't get close.

Agree in part. He had a strong ball carrying game in parts. One of the few ABs to really bend the French defence.

Reiko, Sami T, Ardie (disagreeing with Neps above)

ardie got better when sami got over advantage line and gave him something to work with.
That suggests to me that our current pattern and tactics is making many of our players look lesser

it suggests to me we only had one forward who could make meters in close which when he dis other players could feed off it

Reiko, Taukeiaho are the two easy ones. Might go with Cane or Akira because if Ardie can get votes from this game then those two should as well. But probably go with Coles as the 3rd. He'd fit in well on the Grumpy Old Man thread so that's worthy of a vote.

I think it was gameplan. For the first half Akira was on the edges, in the second he moved in closer and started carting up. I find it hard to believe that it wasn't a 2nd half change in tactics.

of course it was a change in tactics sami just made it work

Reiko because he was a constant threat and you can absolutely see why they want him at centre
Coles for a busy and assertive shift and some great set piece work
George Bridge for the biggest form reversal of the tour. Caught everything he should, actually looked good in attack.

Dropped a cross kick cold, and showed nothing when he had a chance on the outside to score.

That's ridiculously harsh. That was a tough catch off a shit kick.
No person in the AB side would have scored that try as well. Too many defenders no space.

Nope, it was a good kick and he had it.
He was cleaned up easily and right into touch. Could have made more ground and recycled.

Reiko Ioane woulda had a crack.
What a player he is. Bridge getting a nomination for doing ok at some basics is a very sad state of affairs for All Black Rugby.

Yeah I have no problem with him not scoring, but he just got bundled into touch despite having loads of space to work with costing us a golden opportunity. Was such a poor bit of rugby, barely club level stuff.

To be far momentum was lost when JB hesitated and threw a bounce pass.
Not much any winger could do it you have to stop and wait for the bounce then try to beat the cover tacklers from a standing start. -
