What a difference a week makes!
After confidence in the Wallabies hit a new low following their miserable efforts in a Bledisloe sweep, they casually come out and pip the reigning World Cup champions in a thriller on the Gold Coast.
Few Wallabies fans could have foreseen the victory coming, especially given the Springboks were coming off a Lions tour win and had looked ominous in their two wins over Argentina in the Rugby Championship.
As usual, we got you to give every Wallabies player from the Test a score out of ten. Here are your results.
For the first time all season, Michael Hooper was not your man of the match – but there are no points for guessing who was.
Quade Cooper’s extraordinary return performance saw him score a very impressive 8.81 out of ten, although Hooper wasn’t far behind on 8.25.
Surprisingly, they were the only two players who score eight or above. Samu Kerevi took third place with an average of 7.86, while Nic White’s cameo off the bench was well-received, earning him a score of 7.33.
