[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 529448, member: 43875"] heh yeah I actually pretty much agree with those ratings and your observations, I think all the forwards basically did their jobs well, in defense in particular. There was a period in the 2nd half with like 20-25 min to go where SA had a lot of possession and basically got nowhere, after that you could see it was game over for the boks. If anyone stood out it was Read again, how modest is that guy? I think he's on track to be the best All Black #8 ever. Carter was really good again, the AB's backline is so accurate and assured when hes on. breakthrough performance from Hosea Gear, he's had about 12-14 tests now and I think this was his first really good performance against SA or AUS. Pretty much booked himself an EoY seat - and gives the selectors a headache. Savea just starting to look good at test level and Gear looking good as well. Maybe harsh in gear but I tend to think Savea would have done just as well maybe better - I still think he's a better option looking forward. [/QUOTE]
