Brumbies beat Waratahs in monsoonal conditions as injury toll goes from bad to worse
They were made to roll up their sleeves, but the ACT Brumbies have kept their top two hopes alive by holding on to beat…
The Wallabies have held on for a heroic five-point win over the Springboks at Suncorp Stadium despite the absence of star players Israel Folau and David Pocock.
Some would say Australia were excellent given the absences of key players, others might say that neither team played well and the Wallabies were lucky to hold on.
Perhaps the answer lies in looking more closely at the individual performances? 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 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.
