Scott Fardy gets low and drives hard.

A terrible game from the Wallabies. The new coach must be tearing his hair out and the forwards coach polishing up the resume.

Any steps forward from the last match can be ignored as more than two steps back were achieved last night:


[one_third last=”no”]

slipper-wallabies-headshotJames Slipper

Solid enough, good around the park but must take some of the blame for the poor scrum as do all the tight five. 5
[/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]

Australian Wallabies Squad HeadshotsStephen Moore

Has made a fine career as a third mobile prop but is really struggling to actually hook the ball.  3 [/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]

Sekope KepuAustralian Wallabies Squad Headshots

Didn’t do enough. Scrum was poor, barely touched the ball.  4 [/one_third]


[one_third last=”no”]

Kane DouglasDouglas

Played a solid game in the tight. Nothing exceptional. 4 [/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]

rob-simmons-headshotRob Simmons

One of the few to improve from last game. Still not great but deserving of his grading. 5 [/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]

FardyScott Fardy

A few good tackles and certainly put in. 6 [/one_third]


[one_third last=”no”]

Australian Wallabies Squad HeadshotsMichael Hooper

Industrious, but just doesn’t have any effect and doesn’t perform his core duties. 4 [/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]

MOwenBen Mowen

I want the Ben Mowen who played for the Brumbies! Where’s he playing now? 4 [/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]

genia wallabies profileWill Genia

Did more by trying to do less. Still a long way from the player he was in 2011. Watching Bismark pick up the ball unforgivable. 4 [/one_third]


[one_third last=”no”]

Quade Cooperquade_cooper_400_16pld93-16pld96

Defended in the front line. Tried to ignite Australia’s attack behind a well beaten pack and a well organised defence. Made errors late in the game trying to chase points. 6 [/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]

oconnor joc wallabies profileJames O’Connor

Defence was better but he is part of our high ball problem and has a pop gun for a kicking boot.  6 [/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]

lealiifano wallabies profileChristian Leali’ifano

Some say solid. I think anonymous. Wasn’t a hard running No.12 or a distributing No.12. The time to try someone else is getting closer. 4 [/one_third]


[one_third last=”no”]

aac cooper douglas wallabies profileAdam Ashley-Cooper

A road block. Refuses to set up his outside men. The one time he drew and passed we made 40 metres down the right wing. 2 [/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]

Nick Cumminsnick cummins wallabies profile

Interspersed hard running with terrible handling. You always get his best but the dropped ball cost him. 5 [/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]

Israel Folaufolau wallabies profile

Did his best but is expected by some to do amazing things to keep us in the match.  6 [/one_third]


[one_third last=”no”]

SioScott Sio

Just not ready yet. 3 [/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]

Ben AlexanderAustralian Wallabies Squad Headshots

Still in trouble at scrum time.  3 [/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]

Ben McCalmanBen+McCalman+SE7H4J2m4Tsm

Apparently played 20 minutes. Who’d have thought.  3 [/one_third]


[one_third last=”no”]

Australian Wallabies Squad HeadshotsLiam Gill

Came on with 10 to go but I didn’t see him do much. Game was gone anyway. Unrated [/one_third] [one_third last=”no”]

Nic Whiteportals_16_PlayerProfiles_128

Two minutes. Unrated [/one_third] [one_third last=”yes”]

Jesse MoggMogg

Splinters. Unrated [/one_third]


G&GR Wallaby Man of the Match:

Look I tried to pick one guy for Man of the Match honours but I just can’t bring myself to give anyone a gold star.


The patented G&GR ratings guide:

10 – A legendary performance to go down in the history books
9 – Outstanding performance: Man of the match shoo-in
8 – Excellent all-round game
7 – Good game with a few sparkles
6 – Solid performance
5 – Average – ho hum
4 – Below par
3 – Had a bad game
2 – Tell your story walking pal
1 – A complete joke
