      Not sure who usually sets thus up but can't see it.

      Usual three votes.

      Edit: don't know what's happening with the scrambled order ... entered the numerically in position.

        @booboo I did one without numbers and still jumbled the ordering

        Aaron SMith - best game since After David Gate, outstanding delivery and organisation
        Read - like his predecessor, largely written off in recent times, stepped up, carried, tackled, lead
        Whitelock - huge engine, just everywhere.

          Read, BB and Smith.

          Cane and R D Surveyor v. close.

              I believe @duluth said that if you leave the full stops in, it confuses the software and makes a mess of it. So just the numbers would work.

              I'm also standing by my decision that we should have 23 votes for this. They were all really good. Standout probably Aaron though.

                Read, Smith and Ardie for me. BB, Goodhue, Cane and many others could have been picked too.

                Amazing, consistent performance across the board

                    On normal posts that's correct. However I think this is just the voting plugin being out of date.

                    I won't be updating anything until after the rwc (b/c the risk of a long down time)

                      I already told you I was following the advice of others on here and got drunk. Not my fault that you can't use the interweb and find a live scoring site.

                        Smith and Read obvious. Could have been any of 5 or 6 others for the final pick. I went for Goodhue. Accomplished performance and one amazing offload for the second try that basically was enough to win.

                          @Duluth yeah I created a poll same time as Booboo and I didnt have numbers and they were still in some random order.

                          INteresting that the 'official' MOTM isnt getting anywhere near as much love on here....

                                Moody was great - can't remember a better game from him. Whether he was one of the best three might be a bit of a moot point because most were very good, but I'm voting for him.

                                  Like most multiple choice questions this poll should have an "all of the above" option for the boys last night. Brilliant performance

                                      Read, Smith and Beaudy.

                                      Could easily have given a heap more players votes in what was a superb team effort.

                                            For the first time in a while it would actually be easier to mention who had a bad game (and I am struggling to do that).

                                              Gave away a stupid PK almost as soon as he came on. Scrum was noticeably weaker as well.

                                                Todd wasn't great either. Yellow card and a penalty try in about 20 minutes of rugby

                                                  Smith. Reece. Read.

                                                  Pretty much everyone was above average except Bridge where the action all went the other way and Todd who was dire.

                                                      His work rate is his strong point, not so much his ability to beat defenders . I guess it’s a different type of 11 that we have grown accustomed to. He isn’t big brown and fast .

                                                          Yep they have reversed the roles to the other side of the field , it worked that way for the crusaders I guess, so they kept them in their familiar numbers .

                                                            I thought Bridge had a pretty handy game, always took a couple of defenders to take him down and even then he would make a few extra metres in the tackle, total metres carried was over 100, safe under the high ball and even scrapping at the breakdown on a few occassions

                                                                Not bagging Bridge. It was a rare game where everyone played better than their usual performance and the ball didn’t go Bridge’s way. Hardly had a mare... Todd On the other hand made SBWs cameo in the 2011 semi look stellar.

                                                                    Third vote could have gone to lots of the players, but I gave mine to Sam Whitelock. The ultimate team man kept crashing into things all game long and never tired.

                                                                      You need to watch the match again. Bridge was fine.

                                                                              Moody looks like he may have used the month in camp to his advantage, he looked the fittest and healthiest I can recall in awhile.that week off may have done the whole squad a favour.
