All Blacks MOTM v France I
-
Jordan, Jordie, Vaai.
3 that looked, to me, the best ones playing what was in front of them.
-
Vaa'i, Taylor and Jordie our best. Impressive debut from Holland and Jordan finished well.
-
@Bovidae Yeah Barrett was flawless in his goal kicking and otherwise was setting the backline up nicely. Must be his best performance of the calendar year.

You can't get man of the match votes in an international test match at 10 if you miss touch from a penalty and continually give the ball away with shit short kicks.
The tip-on for the try was really good though.@reprobate You beat me to it. BB was still too much rocks and diamonds for me. Is a reliable First Five who manages the game too much to ask for?

I was personally surprised at how well he played tbh. His goal kicking was immaculate, splitting the posts perfectly on those touchline conversions. He struggled on those types of kicks a few times for the Blues in SR this past season.

Yeah I think that's it for me, I find it hard to give a guy man of the match just because he was passable and not an abomination.

. I'm with you. I'm just giving him his flowers. Based on SR form I did not anticipate him playing that well. -
Codie, Vaa’i and Jordie
CLW and Jordan next best.
If Roigard hadn’t kicked once tonight he probably would’ve been MOTM
-
Amusingly, the Herald gave Savea the highest rating. He was fucking shit, and wasn't getting super rugby ref treatment.
-
The AB 12 shirt is Jordie's in this form, as far as I can see. He's returned with more elusiveness, ball-carrying impact, and rugby vision.
