Everyone’s still reeling from that nailbiting finish to Bledisloe 1, with both sides finishing the match all square at 16-all.
On Sunday, we asked you to judge each of the Wallabies’ performances, and here are the resulting player ratings.
Debutant Filipo Daugunu was voted the best aground for the Australians, his try and 130 metres helping him to an average score of 8.34. Over a third of Roarers thought his play deserved a 9/10.
Daugunu’s fellow Reds first-gamers Hunter Paisami and Harry Wilson also impressed the crowd, both finishing with good average scores above seven, while scrumhalf Nic White finished only just behind the winger in the race for our unofficial Wallaby-of-the-match honours with 8.02.
At the other end of the spectrum, hooker Folau Fainga’a was the only starter to earn a score of under five after a difficult first half in Wellington, and reserve lock Rob Simmons didn’t get a lot of love either, after giving away the game-tying penalty.
Take a look at the full results below and let us know in the comments whether the ratings are too high, too low, or spot on.
