All Blacks player ratings vs Australia
Backs
15. Beauden Barrett – 7
The veteran proved he can still keep up in his 12th Bledisloe Cup series. Barrett provided a reliable last line of defence, snuffing out several promising Wallabies attacks.
14. Will Jordan – 6
Made good ground throughout but struggled to turn promising positions into points. Several attacks ended in turnovers deep inside Australian territory. Finally got his reward with a late try to cap a dominant evening.
13. Quinn Tupaea – 7
Covered plenty of ground, plugged defensive gaps and remained a constant presence around the breakdown. A hardworking display that helped keep the Wallabies under pressure.
12. Jordie Barrett – 7
New Zealand's aerial game had been heavily scrutinised, but Barrett helped put those concerns to bed. Also made an impressive 16 tackles, including several powerful hits that stopped Australia in their tracks.
11. Leroy Carter – 7
Looked dangerous on both sides of the ball before his evening ended in painful fashion. Scored a fine try but suffered an ankle injury following a hip-drop-style tackle. A worrying end to an otherwise impressive performance.
10. Damian McKenzie – 8
Showed exactly why he deserved the fly-half shirt. Controlled New Zealand's attack, distributed intelligently and kept the scoreboard ticking over. His kicking was excellent, with just one missed long-range conversion after the result was effectively settled.
9. Cam Roigard – 8
The heartbeat of New Zealand's attack. His passing and tactical kicking repeatedly created opportunities out wide. Deservedly grabbed a try himself with a sharp finish from a second-half ruck.
Forwards
1. Ethan de Groot – 6
Replaced relatively early but had done little wrong. Barely featured with ball in hand, although he played his part in a much-improved scrum following New Zealand's struggles against South Africa.
2. Codie Taylor – 7
Led from the front as New Zealand bounced back in style. Accurate at the lineout, busy around the park and capped his performance with a well-taken second-half try.
3. Fletcher Newell – 6
Not a performance packed with highlights, but his contribution should not be overlooked. Worked hard in the tight exchanges and helped New Zealand establish control at the breakdown.
4. Scott Barrett – 7
Looked like he had never been away. A few early errors aside, Barrett delivered an assured return from injury. Covered plenty of ground and brought much-needed physicality to the All Blacks pack.
5. Josh Lord – 6
A relatively quiet evening. Reliable at the lineout and did his job in the tight exchanges, but offered little going forward. Solid without standing out.
6. Tupou Vaa'i – 7
Really came alive after the break. Produced several powerful carries and a superb offload to release Leroy Carter for the try that extended New Zealand's lead to 36-14.
7. Peter Lakai – 5
A mixed evening. Beaten defensively for Australia's opening try before responding with a score of his own. Missed another important tackle in the build-up to Harry Wilson's try and conceded a costly second-half penalty. Despite crossing the line, he was one of New Zealand's less convincing performers.
8. Wallace Sititi – 7
Arguably New Zealand's most physical performer. Regularly powered through contact and fought for every extra metre. Found himself exposed defensively at times, particularly for Australia's second try, but his ball-carrying was a major positive.
Replacements
16. Asafo Aumua – 6
17. George Bower – 7
18. Pasilio Tosi – 7
19. Shannon Frizell – 6
20. Anton Segner – 6
21. Kyle Preston – 6
22. Rieko Ioane – 6
23. Josh Moorby – 7

10 — Untouchable: Put in the sort of shift that deserves its own statue outside the ground.
9 — Different gravy: Had the opposition chasing shadows — and probably checking the scoreboard twice.
8 — Class act: Big carries, big moments, no panic. A proper “get him on the plane” performance.
7 — Did the hard yards: Not quite headline-grabbing, but got through more work than a front row at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
6 — Solid as a scrum: Did their job, made few mistakes and gave the coach little to complain about.
5 — A game of two halves: Some good touches, some moments best left in the changing room.
4 — Knocked on too often: Never quite got over the gainline and had a long afternoon.
3 — Sent backwards: The kind of outing where the final whistle cannot come quickly enough.
2 — In a ruck: Nothing stuck, every bounce went against them and the highlight reel is mercifully short.
1 — Red-carded by the ratings: A performance so rough it may need reviewing by the TMO.
