Braydon Ennor - 6
Had some good moments, but was guilty of trying to overplay his hand at times and turned the ball over. Perhaps needed the run.
Quinn Tupaea - 9
Was heavily involved in the attacking game, running for more than 140m and beating defenders, while he defended well too.

Despite so much free-running attack, Bridge struggled to get involved as the All Blacks played mostly down the other wing.
Richie Mo'unga - 8
Was on the mark with his goal kicking and showed plenty of his skill in open play, both with the boot and with ball in hand.
Finlay Christie - 7
Provided good service at the ruck to allow the attack to flow, ran well in support and even got stuck into contesting the breakdown.
Hoskins Sotutu - 6
Took every opportunity to show how strong a ball carrier he is, but discipline was an issue for him on the defensive end.
Dalton Papalii - 7
Took plenty of strong carries and made some good metres, made his impact felt in the contact areas as well.
Luke Jacobson - 8
Impressed in the attack, running strong lines both in support and with ball in hand. Scored two tries and defended well.

Heavily involved and enjoyed getting the ball in his hands. Played with high energy, though made some questionable decisions.
Samuel Whitelock - 8
Led the way defensively and contested well at the lineout. He worked hard at the clean out, though did concede the odd penalty.
Angus Ta'avao - 8
Did plenty of work cleaning out the ruck and was solid at the scrum. Ran good supporting lines and was rewarded with two tries.

Was active on the defensive end and took some strong carries, though his throwing at the lineout remains something of a concern.
Ethan de Groot - 7
Impressed in his first test start. He showed his reflexes to reel in a wayward pass and score a try and worked hard in the contact areas.
