HALFBACKS:
10. Tommaso Allan (Italy)
9. Aaron Smith (New Zealand)
Planet Rugby 9/10: “Utterly outstanding. Smith is no longer the best scrum-half in the world but, with more performances like that, he will soon be competing with Antoine Dupont for that mantle.”
FRONT-ROW:
1. Ellis Genge (England)
Telegraph 7/10: “Big tackle early set the tone and won an early scrum penalty, with a massive shove before half-time heaping pressure on Argentina and leading to three more points. Did his bit.”
2. Codie Taylor (New Zealand)
Rugby Pass 8.5/10: “Perhaps his best game in black since the last Rugby World Cup.”
3. Tyrel Lomax (New Zealand)
Rugby Pass 8/10: “An always willing carrier of the ball. Won a penalty for his side at the set-piece but, like many of his teammates, was also pinged at the breakdown. Off in 58th minute.”
