Wallabies - Player ratings

The Wallabies good recent run of form came to an end at a very dreary Twickenham. In a game littered with errors England coped better with the conditions and ran away with the game at the end winning 30-6, taking their points when they could. Here is how the players rated:

Scott Sio 7 Would have been targeted at scrum time but was very solid in the set piece.

Tatafu Polota-Nau 6 Lineout didn’t function as well as it has in recent weeks.

Sekope Kepu 7 Solid at scrum time with Sio and more prominent in the loose this week.

Rob Simmons 6 Decent enough 80 minutes without doing too much.

Blake Enever 5 Struggled with pace of the game, didn’t show much in the loose.

Ned Hannigan 6 Busy again went off injured at half time.

Michael Hooper 6 Try disallowed in first half, usual work rate, sin binned for second week in a row.

Sean McMahon 8 Very solid defensively, won penalties at the breakdown, strong with all in hand.

Will Genia 7 Not as influential as last week but very calm at the base.

Bernard Foley 6 Decent game from the fly half, didn’t get his back line going forward as much as he would have wanted.

Reece Hodge 6 Another quiet display from Hodge, good long range penalty but didn’t see much of the ball.

Samu Kerevi 6 Great break in the second half and worried the defence at times. Still too easy to defend against at international level.

Tevita Kuridrani 6 Another good performance, always willing to get on the ball. Great kick through nearly led to a try in first half, bombed a try after fine work from Kerevi.

Marika Koroibete 8 Should have scored in first half but mis-controlled the ball on his foot, superb defensively superb line from inside ball from Beale unlucky not to score.

Kurtley Beale 4 Sin binned in the first half and at fault for Daly’s try.
