Writing in the New Zealand Herald, Richard Loe believes New Zealand deserve a 7 out of 10 score for their tour exploits.
"So the All Blacks now have to aim for consistency in achieving the sort of result they did against France. That's a bit harder - but they have taken some big strides since the beginning of the season. They have focused on the basics and problems like the lineout have been fixed - just as we all said they could be.
"That brings me to Tom Donnelly - one of the best players of the tour, I'd suggest. He showed up well for most of this tour and particularly against France. Lock is one of the few areas where the All Blacks have no worries and plenty to choose from now. Donnelly did so well that I am bound to say: Isaac who? And that's a biggie - I was one of those people who insisted that Isaac Ross should have gone on this tour."
