    I'm leaning towards Rieko, Cane and Savea. ST next in line.

    Samisoni and Rieko the obvious stand outs. Both truly world class. Cane, Ardie and the props next in line for me, gave it to Cane as he went hard in the opening exchanges where it really matters, stopped any momentum Argie could get early.

    I thought it was one of the best games Ardie has played. For a guy that doesn't hit rucks, he sure hit a lot of rucks.

    Nice to actually have a few options to choose from this week!

    Staggering to think Taukieaho couldn't get a start against Ireland and then got dropped.

    Best hooker in the world for me.

    Sami, Ethan, Rieko.

    Wish I could pick 4 and get Savea in there.

    Hard to think the results would not have been pretty different if he started all 3 tests. He has such an impact on any game he plays in. Would we have won? Who knows, but we would have been a damn sight better.

    Hard choice this week as there was good stuff all over the park.

    Slamming Sami stands out for his impact and doing the basics like lineout throwing right and David Havilli who was rock solid in midfield and gave Ritche & Reiko a great foundation. Third choice was Cane who played and captained well - may be a bit of a sympathy vote but he deserves one (tough on Ardie, I know, but his time will come...)

    I thought Ardie Sami and Rieko were standouts but understand if Cane De Groot etc were picked.

    Just watched. Thought the forwards set the platform so ST Sam Cane and Ardie for me. But Havili Reiko and De Groot were great as well. Retallick added more off the bench today than anyone did last week.

    Actually hard to pick 3 this week

    Went for Savea, Whitelock, Sami T. All three trucked the ball up in close with great effect. Plus all the other stuff - tackles, clean outs, well functioning lineout,

    Ioane and Cane very close behind.

    De Groot the next best.

    Cane
    Ioane
    Sami

    Bloody hard audience here as far as Cane is concerned. He did exactly what people have been asking for all year. Lead by example in the tackle and was much more assertive in captaincy. Was important in keeping things focused for the game and sticking to the plans. I haven’t noticed so many intense talkings to the troops in a long time. Would lecture the forwards then run across and do the same to the backs. Huge performance.

    Also, how can anyone not have Sami in their 3? Also did exactly what everyone has been demanding from our forwards and got us moving forward in every one of his carries.

    Ioane for being able to add some flash.

    Least effective player would have to be Jordan. Is he having a sulk or something?

    Sami T - dude just looks like a man against boys and I don't get that weird icky feeling in my tummy when he's throwing to the lineout! Could it be ... accuracy!? Also he is fit as anything, massive engine.
    Reiko
    Cane just pipped Ardie as I felt like I saw some leadership out there alongside some big hits and smart play.

    Doesn't feel right to pick just 3, the whole pack was great for mine. Hope Cane got stuck into the beers in the dressing room with a smile on his face

    voted earlier, about to go through the match thread. Cane, Rieko and ST for me. Ardie superb, but Cane played a dominant game. In the context of the pressure he's under, that was massive.

    Awesome, dominant, high skill, high cohesion performance. Sensational.

    This looks about right to me, but I would've given WJ a 5

    The end result in Hamilton saw New Zealand prevail 53-3 - but how did the individuals rate in what was an impressive team effort?

    Tougher rating system but if 7 is “played well” but not outstanding and 8 is a great game I am also not sure how Jordan is a 6.
    5.5 maybe if I am generous. That’s on a rating of “did nothing wrong but didn’t add much”

    @Crucial I wonder why Papali'i is rated N/A when guys that came on with or after him are given a score
