All Blacks winners and losers: Scott Robertson shows ‘loyalty’ with playmaker call but experienced forwards jettisoned

Winners

Jordie Barrett

The fullback was in ominous form in his return to the No 15 jersey, scoring a try, setting up another and making several key defensive plays.

Scott Barrett

The lock was a colossus in the middle of the park, making a number of big tackles and carrying the ball strongly.

Josh Ioane

The first five-eighth made a strong case to start the third Test against Ireland, with a composed performance that included a try and several incisive runs.

Losers

Anton Lienert-Brown

The centre was a late withdrawal from the team due to a calf injury, and his absence was felt in the midfield.

Codie Taylor

The hooker was sin-binned in the first half for a dangerous tackle, and his team struggled in his absence.

Ofa Tu’ungafasi

The prop was replaced by Nepo Laulala in the second half, and it remains to be seen if he will start the third Test.

Sam Whitelock

The lock was replaced by Scott Barrett in the second half, and it is unclear if he will be fit to start the third Test.
