Well, another week, another victory – this time for the Wallabies over the Pumas in Mendoza, a venue where they failed to get it done in the last Rugby Championship.
Sure, two late tries made the scoreline flatter Australia, but they finished the game stronger, and generally had the best of the battles.
Some more accurate goal-kicking would have made things even more blown out, and maybe even a fairer reflection of the game. I’m not going to editorialise it though. That’s your job.
Anyway, here’s The Roar’s DIY Wallabies player ratings – where you get to tell us who got what score, and why. Note that you have to use the comments section if you want to tell us why.
Here’s how the game works:
1. Fill out the form below, giving a player a rating between 1 and 10.
1.5. Tell me why my process sucks, or why my haircut is bad in the comments section.
2. I collate the votes over the day.
3. Tomorrow, the results will be out, and you all get to see exactly how bad our ratings are, and can lambast me for it.
Fun for the whole family.
Due to popular demand, I’ve put together a brief description of what I think the ratings should reflect. Use it as a guide, rather than a set of rules I stand by rigorously.
1. Had he not played, the team would have been better off. Negatively affected the performance of the side. May God have mercy on his soul.
2. Anonymous. Was he even there?
3. Did some things that you expect a player to be able to do, but did a whole bunch of other things that sucked.
4. Was passable in patches, but not up to standard in a squad of such depth.
5. Performed his role without anything really noticeable happening.
6. Good
7. Pretty good, actually
8. Very good
9. Excellent
10. Might as well have been John Eales
Happy voting everyone!
