The results are in! We asked you to rate the Wallabies side that took to the field against the Springboks, and now we’ve added up the data from all of our responders to bring your our DIY player ratings.
It wasn’t pretty but despite missing David Pocock, Israel Folau and Adam Coleman, the Wallabies managed to hold out for a five-point win over the Springboks.
Among the starters it was Matt Toomua (6.98) and Will Genia (6.71) who were the most highly-rated performers, but amazingly they didn’t top the team.
That honour instead went to Taniela Tupou off the bench, who squeezed past them with an average rating of 7.03.
The voters were willing to give most of the side a thumbs up, but weren’t especially impressed by the performances of Tatafu Polota-Nau (4.40) or Marika Koroibete (3.91).
