Here are my player ratings from Round 8 of Super Rugby. Submit your own, keeping the figures for mediocre scores aside for reasons of brevity and so that the focus is on the best and worst performers.
Scores should be between anyone over seven and anyone below four, i.e. for very good and poor performances. Half scores are allowed, i.e. 7.5, 3.5 and so on.
Please submit your own scores for a whole team. The minimum is one team, there is no obligation to score all the games. I average the scores per team by the number submitted. I will compile every ones submitted teams scores and produce Wallaby form teams later in the week. There will be one team of the round and three accumulative teams.
Reds vs Rebels
For the first 20 minutes it was the Reds of old. They played scintillating rugby. Then Horwill had a brain explosion and was red carded.
The Rebels played better for the rest of the game. The Reds’ forwards went missing except for Gill from that point on.
The Reds did scrum well with seven men, and the Rebels were better in the forwards and backs.

Brumbies vs Cheetahs
The Brumbies were rusty off their bye, yet they cut up the Cheetahs defence at will.
Unfortunately they were unable to finish off the moves due to combination of white line fever and poor handling. Numerous tries were left on the field.
The second half was nil all. The Brumbies need to instill the organisation and discipline they have in the forwards into their backs. Admittedly their backline was rejigged due to injuries but they still should have combined better. Most of the breaks were individual brilliance.
Brumbies
S. Sio 8/10

S. Fardy 7.5/10
D. Pocock 9/10
