All Blacks MOTM v Wales
-
For all the honorable mentions should probably add Tosi. Especially with an Ardie highlight reel play

I thought Ardie ran on fron the sideline to make that turnover!
Oh no wait, Tosi actually made the tackle first up as well......

Sititi
Sami T
And i went DMac as the 3rd but that could honestly have been a bunch of guys. -

ALB: calm focused head amongst headless chickens.
Wallace: everywhere
Samisoni: solid lineout and some good runsALB played bloody well. Ran well, but his vision and passing really helped our outsides.
-
DMac, Clarke and Sititi for me

I would have gone Clarke too, but he missed way too many tackles out there for me.

he used to be avery good player. his body betrayed him but he can sometimes do good things
-
ALB is still a good player. He's not the most explosive, but he's a very competent midfielder.
But if you're not going to start him, he should be in the stands.
Edit: and if he's in the stands, there is a strong argument to pick a young fella on potential instead. -

Samisoni: solid lineout and some good runsALB made some nice direct runs. Rieko too. We look more dangerous when we run straight and hard instead of sideways. What a surprise

-
Clarke, T Williams, Holland

can be pretty combustible when it comes to cards in recent seasons...

ALB surprised me with his game. Clearly he's a starter or not at all in the 23.

Rieko too. Ran hard, tackled, even passed out to his winger

Rieko was poor. Was it two bad defensive reads leading to two tries
No. If he hadn't turned in when Holland was coming across the attacker likely wouldn't have passed and his momentum would've got him well over the line.
The other I'd have to recheck - I think that's the one he turned in because it was the "world's best fullback" next to him.
