The Wallabies have lost a pools match at the Rugby World Cup for just the third team in their history, falling short 25-29 versus Wales despite a dynamic second-half fightback.
It was as genuine a match of two halves as you will see in rugby. The Wallabies were down 8-23 at half time, but score two tries in the second half and came within a point with about ten minutes to go.
However, a penalty goal for Wales saw them stretch out their lead to four points, and try as they might, the Australians could not find a way to bridge the gap before the clock ran out.
To dissect the game, we need your help! Tell us what you thought of each individual performance, and we’ll post the full results tomorrow morning.
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 how well they played. 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.
