All Blacks

15 Damian McKenzie 9/10 The key cog for the majority of the All Blacks’ attack. Scored a double and put plenty of players through the line. A steady balance between having the pill in hand and putting boot to ball. There was a piece of magic from the Mooloo man in the 33rd minute, putting a grubber through from halfway, retrieving the ball with one hand and flicking it inside to Will Jordan for the score. Made 105 metres, while beating four defenders. Handy from the tee, too, converting three from three.

14 Will Jordan 8/10 Was the beneficiary of the All Blacks’ rampant attack in the first half, before showing his skills as a provider in the second. Finished with 116 metres, four clean breaks and three defenders beaten. His go-to chip and chase forced two attacking scrums from five metres out — one in each half. His double keeps his impressive try-scoring strike rate strong (27 tries in 28 tests). Beautiful cutout floating pass for Fainga’anuku’s first try.

13 Anton Lienert-Brown 6/10 Prevented Uruguay’s biggest chance to put points on the board, with a tackle in the corner doing enough to force the attacker’s foot on the sideline. Steady in support when the All Blacks ran wild with the ball, finishing with 78 metres and two clean breaks, including a neat draw-and-pass for Leicester Fainga’anuku’s second put-down.

12 Jordie Barrett 7/10 A quiet game by his standards, but didn’t need to be active in a blowout victory. Just 14 metres on attack but went past two defenders as he played a secure role in the midfield.

11 Leicester Fainga’anuku 8/10 A monster on attack, leading the way with 183 metres and nine defenders beaten. Rewarded with a second-half hat-trick, but a few moments he’d like to take back. Burned by his opposing winger Gaston Mieres in the 12th minute for a near Uruguay try. Showed his massive boot a couple of times — one unfortunately too long as it went dead. Moved into the midfield in the 53rd minute, where he continued to keep busy.

10 Richie Mo’unga 7/10 A solid outing, despite McKenzie being the primary playmaker for most of the game. Lovely chip in the opening five minutes led to a Will Jordan break for

40-odd metres. Scored one of many tries off the back of a five-metre scrum, using simple pace to beat his man. A few missed tackles. Finished five from seven off the tee.

9 Cam Roigard 8/10 Bamboozled Uruguay winger Nicolas Freitas with shifty footwork for a try in the 38th minute off a 5 metre scrum — one of eight beaten defenders during the contest. Active on defence with eight tackles. Only knock would be his decision-making off the back of the ruck, sometimes going for darts when nothing was on, making three handling errors in the process. But his running game off the bench will be crucial for the All Blacks heading into the knockout stages.

8 Luke Jacobson 7/10 Good work rate in his preferred No 8 position. In sync defensively along with his loose-forward partners, making seven tackles and adding a couple of solid carries with the pill.

7 Sam Cane 8/10 Strong 80-minute effort from the captain on both sides of the ball. Led the way with nine tackles for New Zealand, without a miss. Active as a support runner on attack.

6 Shannon Frizell 7/10 A couple of powerful charges during the game and backed it up defensively with six tackles. Will face a stern test in the quarter-final as the first-choice No 6.

5 Tupou Vaa’i 7/10 Multiple lineout steals as he put pressure on the Uruguay throw-in all night. Missed three tackles during the contest, but showed his presence on attack on occasion. Gave away an unlucky penalty in the 57th minute when an attacking decoy player ran into him.

4 Samuel Whitelock 7/10 Active in his 150th All Blacks test — a remarkable feat for the tall pine. Finished with seven tackles and a turnover won, which led to a near-Cam Roigard score in the first half. Welldeserved standing ovation as he exited the field.

3 Tyrel Lomax 3/10 An injury concern as he came off the field after just eight minutes, with his right leg heavily strapped. Didn’t look comfortable as he sat on the bench. Fingers crossed it’s just a minor niggle.

2 Codie Taylor 8/10 Big points for his activity on defence in all facets. Forced two turnovers, including a big hit from behind as Uruguay made a rare break in the opening stanza. Finished with seven tackles. Lineout stayed strong throughout.

1 Ofa Tu’ungafasi 7/10 Steady scrum spearheaded by the loosehead, with help by Fletcher Newell. Laid a platform for many of the All Blacks’ tries off the back of the scrum, particularly from five metres out.
