                Savea, Jordan.

                That’s it. Akira was great in places but we lost the back row battle so I cannot give it to two from this area.

                  Same. Was hard picking a third.

                    I could only vote for Ardie then added Nepo only because he came back on not 100% and tried hard.
                    Nearly ticked BBBR for the number of carries. Did what was obviously asked.

                      Easy tonite. Savea Jordan and Retallick. But Laulala close.

                          Same here. Ardie was clearly number 1. He made a few mistakes in the first half but dragged us back into it in the second. Jordan played a mature game.

                          Akira was up and down, but I think he gave us what we needed from the number 6 shirt.

                            No Taylor?

                            I voted the same 3

                              those 3 were clearly the best for me.

                                Foster is the MOTM for Ireland. Fucked team, we lost the Series. Fuck this poll.

                                  I went for bower as best rookie of the series

                                    Bower, Akira & Ardie. Bubbling under, Will scored a great try but wasn't as consistent as those three. Reece also played well. BBBR had some moments too

                                    Reiko wasn't good, neither were BB or Jordie and Codie Taylor stank.

                                        Pretty stunned at votes for Laulala. Didn't he have a hard in 2 Irish tries?

                                          Next tier - Reece, Akira

                                          Then - Jordan, Bower

                                            Same. The arrogance of certain Ferners who have a go at Ardie constantly amazes me as if there’s better players that he’s keeping out. He was immense. The other two showed fantastic sparks in attack as well.

                                            Most others were various degrees of shithouse.

                                                Yeah, he did. He still did well to play so many minutes and seemed to get better as the game went on. Still his mistake in our 22 was unforgivable. The good things he did did not outweigh that.

                                                      I don't think it matters where you play him. He will play exactly the same way. You have to have Ardie in your team. It is just which two other players you want to pick. and what skillsets you want

                                                        Pretty stunned at votes for Laulala. Didn't he have a hard in 2 Irish tries?

                                                        Yeah, he did. He still did well to play so many minutes and seemed to get better as the game went on. Still his mistake in our 22 was unforgivable. The good things he did did not outweigh that.

                                                        And the missed tackle for his first involvement.

                                                          I'm having more trouble than last week to pick 3. At least last week Reece, Smith, Bower were all good and pretty much error free. Our best highlights reels tonight were probably Ardie and Akira, but they also made multiple knock-ons and other fuckups and went missing for long periods.
                                                          No votes from me.

                                                            @Crucial I voted for Retallick. His best game of the series. The first two were easy.

                                                            Jordan had one moment of brilliance but he also was caught out badly for an Irish try and got himself isloated by not passing to a player in support.

                                                              Ardie, Akira, Bower.

                                                              Would like to see Jordan from 15.

                                                                  Akira was anonymous until you realise it's him making runs and tackles, not Savea.

Can't say I've noticed it hugely at the Crusaders, but yeah he's probably not called upon to be in the defensive line as much.
