Disco player ratings Bledisloe 2 Auckland

[disco]

Actually harder this week than last week as nobody was completely shit they just play poorly as team so that actually counts against Deans.

15.AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (5) He usually plays heaps better at International level but he brought his super rugby form this week.
14.Mitchell (NR) Got injured early & the game never came his way.
13.Horne (5) Did nothing wrong but had no impact.
12.Barnes (4) Poor kicking game
11. Ioane (7) Never gives up always plays hard.
10.Quade (5) Never got going but will get better with more games.
9. Genia (4) Got a yellow card & that's all I remember of him, unlucky yellow card.
8.Higgers (4) Another poor game really, lots of arm tackles.
7.Hooper (8) Brilliant debut had a very good game.
6.Dennis (4) The invisible man Aussie R.Thorne.
5.Sharpe (7) Good effort again from the old timer.
4.Timani (8) **MVP*** Aussies best had a great game has really proved me wrong.
3.Alexander (4) Scrum OK, ran the ball a lot but ran high in contact.
2.Moore (5) Just needs more game time. Set piece was good.
1.Robinson (6) He was going well until injured.

S.Fainga'a (5), Slipper (5), Gill (5), A.Fainga'a (5), Beale (5)

I thought AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) the better fullback.

Beale didn't want to counter attack, and since Cooper is defending at 10 he has fewer opportunities.

 

[Richo]

Thought Sharpe was not more than a 4. Silly penalties, errors, no real drive. A very different Sharpie to last week.

Again, pretty good, Disco.
I agree Sharpey might be a point or two less.
I was really impressed with Robinson's increased involvement and effort early on, but he ran out of puff (again) and then got injured. But in the first 30 minutes, he put in a lot of work. Need to see more of it.
Genia was not unlucky with that YC - unless it was bad luck the ref saw him!! It was a brain fart on his part.

Think you're being a bit tough on Ben A. Solid scrum and got through a lot of work in both defence and attack. I'd give him 6 or 7.

Those ratings were given straight after watchin the game & I've noticed a few posters have given points to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) & Alexander but I will be sticking by those ratings as I'm not sure I can watch that again.

Apart from Partie Pie, Sharpe and Beale I agree 100%. Those three weren't that great.
