Yep. Ditto for me, though Crotty woud get a 4th vote

Thought the Crotty/ALB combo worked really, really well.

Same

Whitelock, Ardie, ALB.

@Nevorian two best players on the park there

Ardie and the two Barretts though I would have liked to give four votes as ALB was outstanding too.

First 3 - Ardie, Whitelock, B. Barrett
Second 3 - ALB, Crotty, S. Barrett
Next 3 - Moody, A. Smith, Mo’unga

So after my rewatch - ALB, Scott Barrett (his best game in black by some distance, actually lived up to the hype some have been giving him for a while) ... the third was hard to choose between BB, A Smith and Ardie. Ruled out Ardie due to some defensive issues and have decided for BB since I'd normally go for A Smith.

What I also noticed was that Ardie and BB were helped to perform well by the performance of their partners/competition - Mo'unga actually had a really good game and Cane was physically imposing himself at ruck time.

Savea, ALB, Aaron Smith.

Savea, ALB, S Barrett for me
