We asked you to rate the Australian’s performances following their 15-all stalemate with the Pumas on Saturday night at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle. And the results are in. Check out which Wallabies were standouts in your eyes below.
Matt Philip topped the list with a rating of 6.82 as around 33 per cent of you gave him a seven. His tireless effort around the park among many barnstorming carries was enough for him to be named the best of the Wallabies group. Tom Wright was next best, achieving an admirable average score of 6.78 in the wake of his liveliness in attack, often testing the Pumas line.
You were kinder to Reece Hodge than he was to himself, gifting the flyhalf a respectable rating after he put on a flawless goalkicking display right up until the final moments.
Yet, you were not so generous with some of his Australian teammates, giving captain Michael Hooper and other Wallabies stars some measly scores.
