How the All Blacks rated in their 102-0 win over Tonga at Mt Smart Stadium.

Damian McKenzie - 9

Heavily involved in the attack early. Had some important touches in a lot of the backline moves, and scored the opening try.

Will Jordan - 10

Ran the ball hard into contact, breaking through tackles and igniting attacking moves. Scored five tries, one short of the All Blacks record.

Rieko Ioane - 7

Was damaging with ball in hand, and flashed his offloading ability. Struggled to get into the game early, though.

Quinn Tupaea - 7

Solid on debut in a 63-minute effort. Made some strong carries, was secure with ball in hand and defended well.

George Bridge - 6

Took the opportunities that were presented to him out wide, and looked threatening every time he got the ball.

Richie Mo'unga - 7

With the free-flowing attack, Mo'unga had several important touches in build-up play. His goal-kicking was not great.

Brad Weber - 9

Took smart options and provided good service from the ruck. He ran well in support and was rewarded with three tries.

Luke Jacobson - 8

Was a force in the cleanout and tried to get over the ball to force turnovers. Showed his strength to score a try as well.

Dalton Papalii - 9

Contested every breakdown he could possibly get to, charged hard with ball in hand and scored a couple of tries.

Akira Ioane - 8

Worked hard on attack across the park with strong carries, bumping off defenders. Was notable at the breakdown as well.

Sam Whitelock - 7

Led the way defensively with double-digit tackles and worked hard at the breakdown, although did concede a few penalties.

Scott Barrett - 6

Was solid across the park, but the way the match played out didn't really allow him to play his best game of football.

Angus Ta'avao - 7

Tackled well and showed some speed with ball in hand, crashing through the defensive line and setting up his teammates.

Dane Coles - 8

Showed everything he had in his utility belt - running with intent, defending well, and he even put a kick in and contested a lineout.

Karl Tu'inukuafe - 6

Strong at the set piece and charged with ball in hand, but gave up territory at times, be it through turnovers or penalties.

Reserves

Asafo Aumua - 8
George Bower - 7
Tyrel Lomax - 7
Patrick Tuipulotu - 8
Ethan Blackadder - 7
Finlay Christie - 8
Beauden Barrett - 7
Jordie Barrett - 7
