[taniwharugby]

Pick your 3

[taniwharugby]

damn, it jumped them all out of order...

[booboo]

Ardie
Brodie
Crotty

[taniwharugby]

BBBR, Whitelock, Ardie, in no particular order.

[Kirwan]

Went for the two locks and BB.

[Hooroo]

Goodhue Dmac and Bbbr

[sparky]

Brodie, Beauden, Kieran Read.

Scott Barrett, Ryan Crotty and Dane Coles excellent off the bench

[JC]

BBBR, Read, S Barrett

[Virgil]

If you believe the English press the TMO should be included in this list.

[Rembrandt]

Went Karl and DMac for keeping us in it when England had their tails up in the first half, Retallick for his masterclass in the 2nd half

[Paekakboyz]

@booboo agreed. Whitelock a close 4th

[mariner4life]

Brodie DMac and Savea

But a host of honorable mentions in Smith Whitelock Read Crotty. Pretty much everyone bar 9 and 12

[rotated]

Rettalick, Savea, Smith.

HM: Read. Scott Barrett. McKenzie.

Thought that I might have been going against the general consensus given that BBBR is always great, but I watched Whitelock really closely to see if he had fallen off form as much as been mentioned (for whatever reason). He was really good. Others obviously noticed too.

Ardie great again.
Crotty. When he is actually on the field, and not the infirmary, he is pretty bloody reliable.

[broughie]

Savea, Brodie and DMac. Was on and off watching the game as I was at an Ortho symposium but Ardie continues to impress even though he is lightweight, BBBR very solid and DMac was involved in the offensive breaks which help open England up.

[Paekakboyz]

Crotty showed his experience in the wet too. Ran hard and straight and took some great lines. On reflection I think that is where SBW has fallen down in the last 12-18 months. He's looking for a single touch to make an offload or a grubber, and isn't bending or breaking the line like he used too. Still did well on D imo while he was on, early on in the game we were getting dealt to with their kicking and width of attack.

[Machpants]

Disagree with McKenzie, five turnovers conceded. Not good enough in the wet, despite bravery and great on attack

[gt12]

My thoughts on who definitely was not MOTM here:

[akan004]

BBBR, BB and Goodhue.

[ACT Crusader]

Savea, Whitelock, B. Barrett

Tu’inukuafe, Retallick and Crotty next best.
