All Blacks player ratings vs Australia
Here are our All Blacks player ratings vs Australia, with every New Zealand player scored out of 10.
By Wyatt Gessner at Eden Park
All Blacks starting XV
1. Ethan de Groot — 6
A quiet outing from the loosehead prop. Did little of note before making way for George Bower early in the contest.
2. Codie Taylor — 7
Played his part in a crucial goal-line turnover and grabbed New Zealand's fourth try. Less convincing at the lineout, where he struggled to disrupt Australia's throw.
3. Fletcher Newell — 6
A mixed performance up front. New Zealand generally had the upper hand physically, although Newell struggled to make a major impact.
4. Scott Barrett — 7
Helped set the physical tone for the All Blacks. Led from the front and played a key role in New Zealand's dominance up front.
5. Josh Lord — 6
Took responsibility at the lineout but had some difficult moments defensively. Beaten in the build-up to Australia's second try.
6. Tupou Vaa'i — 8
One of New Zealand's standout forwards. Produced a superb break and pass to set up Leroy Carter's try. Strong under the high ball, although he did lose a lineout.
7. Peter Lakai — 5
A difficult night despite scoring his first All Blacks try. Beaten defensively for Australia's opening score and missed another key tackle before their second. Conceded a penalty late on.
8. Wallace Sititi — 7
A powerful presence with ball in hand. Consistently made valuable metres and grabbed New Zealand's second try. Involved defensively for Australia's second score but could do little to prevent it.
9. Cam Roigard — 8
Distributed intelligently and kept New Zealand's attack ticking over. Took his try well and provided a constant threat around the breakdown.
10. Damian McKenzie — 8
Pulled the strings brilliantly at times. Produced an important early intervention, helped create the opening try and kicked six conversions and a penalty. A classy display from the fly-half.
11. Leroy Carter — 7
Recovered well after being beaten for Australia's opening try. Produced a superb turnover-winning tackle and improved defensively as the match progressed. Rewarded with a try before leaving injured.
12. Jordie Barrett — 6
Solid rather than spectacular. Looked much more assured under the high ball than against South Africa and contributed some important tackles.
13. Quinn Tupaea — 6
Struggled to get involved during a quiet first half. Had an opportunity to break clear, but Will Jordan's misplaced pass denied him the chance.
14. Will Jordan — 6
Showed flashes of his attacking brilliance with a superb break but failed to connect with Tupaea. Conceded a penalty and wasted another promising opportunity deep inside Australian territory.
15. Beauden Barrett — 7
An important safety valve at the back. Got New Zealand out of trouble on several occasions and became increasingly influential during the second half.
All Blacks replacements
16. Asafo Aumua — N/A
No performance notes available to assess his contribution.
17. George Bower — 7
Called into action early and made an immediate impact. Helped New Zealand win a driving maul that resulted in a try.
18. Pasilio Tosi — 7
Replaced Newell and brought energy to the front row. Was involved in a lost scrum but also had a try ruled out.
19. Shannon Frizell — 6
Replaced Josh Lord and added fresh legs to the pack. Part of a scrum that came under pressure.
20. Anton Segner — 6
An eventful introduction from the bench. Struggled with one high ball but otherwise had limited opportunities to make his mark.
21. Kyle Preston — N/A
No performance notes available to assess his contribution.
22. Rieko Ioane — N/A
Replaced Jordie Barrett and provided an assist for a try that was subsequently ruled out for a knock-on. Not enough detail to award a fair rating.
23. Josh Moorby — 6
Replaced the injured Leroy C

PLAY THE ULTIMATE DRAFT →What the ratings mean
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.
