The Wallabies’ thrilling win over Scotland didn’t exactly blow your minds, if the DIY player ratings results are any guide – with one notable exception.
Just one Australian made it past a 7 average – Nick Frost. Clearly you are all of a mind with our resident rugby guru Jim Tucker, who couldn’t have given the man mountain higher praise.
However, few other Wallabies joined him in a higher rating – not even adjudged player of the match James Slipper, with the captain peaking at 6.98, though still enough for second-best.
At the other end of the scale, Bernard Foley’s (4.51) questionable kicking game on Sunday morning saw him rated as the second-lowest Wallaby, ahead of only fullback Tom Banks (4.39).
Interestingly, though, Foley’s ratings were as mixed as we’ve seen in quite some time: a significant portion of you voters (8.7% to be exact) gave him a 7, while 6 (20%), 5 (20.9%), 4 (22.6%) and even 3 (14.8%) all got a decent chunk of scores as well.
