All Blacks player ratings vs Australia

1. George Bower – 6/10

Good game from Bower. He was strong in the scrums and did his job defensively.

2. Codie Taylor – 8/10

The All Blacks skipper enjoyed a fabulous game, highlighted by 12 tackles and two line breaks. He was subbed off in the 49th minute but returned in the 67th minute to replace Samisoni Taukei’aho.

3. Fletcher Newell – 7/10

Very good from Newell, making multiple tackles and having an impact in the first half to halt the Wallabies several times.

4. Scott Barrett – 6/10

Good game from Barrett, but he was quiet compared to the rest of the forward pack. Did his job in his second game back from injury.

5. Fabian Holland – 8/10

17 tackles, the most in the game, and a lineout interception that led to a try. Very impactful all around. A solid game for Holland.

6. Tupou Vaa’i – 6/10

Similar to Barrett, a good defensive performance but not a standout display. A key contributor to the win.

7. Peter Lakai – 8/10

Mr Consistent as of late, Peter Lakai produced a man-of-the-match contender. His 15 carries, 13 tackles, line breaks and turnover won only show part of how impactful he was for the All Blacks.

8. Wallace Sititi – 7/10

Another strong defensive performance from Sititi, who was also excellent with 14 carries. His partnership with Peter Lakai was one of the main reasons the All Blacks' defence was so solid.

9. Cam Roigard – 8/10

Playmaking excellence from Roigard, who played with great intelligence to assist several tries. He also produced a great last-man defensive effort to save a try.

10. Damian McKenzie – 7/10

A mixed game for McKenzie, with excellent playmaking but a poor kicking game.

11. Josh Moorby – 8/10

Moorby enjoyed the game, scoring twice and contributing well to the attack.

12. Timoci Tavatavanawai – 7/10

Physically dominant as always, Tavatavanawai produced a solid performance in both attack and defence. He did his job before being forced off in the 67th minute due to injuries and a lack of available substitutes.

13. Quinn Tupaea – N/A

Terrible luck for Tupaea, who suffered a head injury in the opening two minutes and did not return for the rest of the game.

14. Will Jordan – 5/10

A quiet game for Jordan, who went scoreless in the scoring frenzy and was subbed off at the end of the first half. He provided a nice assist for Ioane, but that was his only notable highlight.

15. Beauden Barrett – 9/10

A lot of pressure surrounded Barrett, but what an amazing performance. Two tries, excellent defensively, and he turned back the clock to outrun the Wallabies over the length of the field for his second try. He then came close to completing his hat-trick.

All Blacks Replacements

16. Samisoni Taukei’aho – 6/10

A difficult night for Taukei’aho, who played only 18 minutes before being subbed off due to a head injury. He produced a solid performance nonetheless.

17. Xavier Numia – 6/10

18. Pasilio Tosi – N/A

19. Shannon Frizell – 5/10

20. Du’Plessis Kirifi – 5/10

21. Cortez Ratima – 5/10

22. Chay Fihaki – 6/10

23. Rieko Ioane – 7/10

Unexpectedly brought on early, Ioane scored a well-worked try and looked dangerous in both attack and defence.
