The Wallabies are winners! Okay, only by a single point, but still. Winners.
A 23-22 win over Scotland in the wee hours of this morning wasn’t the confidence boosting victory that Australian rugby fans would have liked to have seen ahead of more difficult match-ups to come.

However, a win is a win, and Australia have narrowly kept their hopes of a grand slam on the Spring Tour alive.
Before next week’s match against France, it’ll be crucial to take a look over the side from this match and work out who earned their pay and who didn’t.
Which players built the win?
And so we’re opening up our DIY Player Ratings to you, Roarers. Have a vote and let us know what you thought of each player’s performance.
If you’ve not done our DIY player ratings before, it’s a simple enough process. Hit up the form below and rate each player from 1 to 10 based on their performance. We’ll keep track of the results and publish our findings.
You’re free to rate players as you like with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, but if you’re after a bit more detail than that, we leave you in the capable hands of The Roar‘s editor Patrick Effeney who put this guide together last year.
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.
