All Blacks MOTM v Ireland

@nzzp said in All Blacks MOTM v Ireland:

I picked backs, but again the forwards were massive. Hard to pick some though

I went the complete opposite way.

Lots of very solid performances tonight but was most impressed with De Groot, Aumua and Vaa'i.

But really could give it to just about anyone.

Hard to go past some of the ball carriers in the forwards tonight.

Love, Tupaea and Moorby. Aumua, De Groot and Tuipolotu come close and there were plenty of good carriers tonight.

Thought Tupaea was really good tonight, unlucky not to get MOTM.

Jordie, Patrick and Asafo

Thought a few played well but shout out to Matt lord on debut. Will be interesting to see if he gets another start

One of the comms called Josh Lord, Matt Lord early in the game, thought it was rather funny at the time

@bayimports I'll forgive him, he was a Harbour and Takapuna legend after all.

I've been one of Ardies biggest critics over the years.. But I think his last 120 minutes or so in black have been awesome.

My votes as well.

@voodoo I thought this was Ardie Savea's best Test performance since the 2023 World Cup. Did the hard work.

Tough choice this week which is always good

I'll go with De Groot, Vaai and Moorby

Others very close such as Tuipulotu, Love and the midfield duo.

Went to school with him! Much like some other rugby legends from that school, he wasn't deemed talented enough for the 1st XV.

EdG, Patch and Jordie.

Tupaea for me.

Consistent go forward ball from him.

I went with our midfield and Pat T.

Several others like Savea, Vaii, EDG, Love moorby, Jordan, Aunua all quality too

TJ. Heard that at the time and been trying to work out who Matt Lord actually is. Name sounds familiar.

My three were Groot, Vaa'i, DMac

Honourable mentions to everyone else except Roigard.
