The game they play in heaven: A 'Dream XV' made up of unforgettable players
Unfortunately, the only criteria for this Dream XV are that you had to have passed away. During my research, I thought of potential players…
It’s a draw! The Wallabies and the Springboks couldn’t be separated at nib Stadium on Saturday, and a result like that always leaves us scratching our heads.

The Wallabies weren’t good enough to get the win… but they weren’t bad enough to lose the match, either. Is it a respectable effort, or still a major disappointment?
Without being able to rule the team a success or a failure, we can instead look at the performance of individual players to see who made us proud, and who needs to lift.
And for that reason 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 tomorrow.
You’re free to rate players as you like with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest – or toss an NA on any player not worth rating – but if you’re looking for a bit more detail than that, our handy little guide might help you make your judgments…
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.
