Rieko Ioane - 8
Ran fast, ran hard and, most importantly, ran often to put points on the board and lead the team in carry metres.
David Havili - 7
Didn't have the same spectacular impact of late, but challenged the line and showed he's a capable kicking option.
George Bridge - 7
Got stuck into his work and was among the team leaders in carries. Chewed through the metres as well.

Used his show-and-go to great success, asking plenty of questions of the Pumas defence and setting up teammates.
TJ Perenara - 8
Provided terrific service from the ruck, spreading the ball quickly and making good decisions with his kicking as well.
Luke Jacobson - 9
Took plenty of tough carries into the line and bagged a couple of tries. Provided a good option at the lineout.

Bagged a try on the stroke of halftime; a reward for plenty of gritty work as the All Blacks tried to break the Pumas down.
Akira Ioane - 7
Was a key figure in the side's strong lineout drive, contested well and had some good moments in open space.
Scott Barrett - 7
Provided a good option at the lineout, took plenty of carries and flashed some passing skill as well.

Made some big plays at the breakdown to relieve the pressure on his side and worked tirelessly at both ends.

Made some good defensive plays and put in plenty of effort, but got it wrong at times and conceded penalties.
Asafo Aumua - 7
Ran the ball as if shot from a cannon when he found his way into the game, but had some issues with his throw at the lineout.
Karl Tu'inukuafe - 6
The flow of the game kept Tu'inukuafe relatively quiet, but he welcomed opportunities to take the ball into contact.
