The Wallabies and All Blacks are into the Rugby World Cup final. Australia got the job done against Argentina in a cracking game this morning, by 14 points in the end.
But it was closer than the scoreline might have reflected, with the Wallabies under pressure for a majority of the second 40 minutes.
I’m really interested in what you guys think of the game.
The Pumas held the Wallabies tryless for much of the second half, but the Wallabies managed it for a whole game.
How does that affect their ratings? You have to give a lot of credit to players like Michael Hooper, Scott Fardy, Kane Douglas and David Pocock for putting in so much effort in defence, and making big tackles and turnovers when they mattered.
On the other hand, Israel Folau looked a yard short on pace, and his footwork deserted him at crucial times.
The halves controlled things well, Matt Giteau included in that fold, and Drew Mitchell made crucial runs at crucial times.
The scrum wasn’t so good, so I’m interested to see the ratings there.
But over to you, and your scores.
For any of your new to DIY player ratings, here’s how it all 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!
