I think Beale has at least deserved a S15 starting spot.

1. Sharpe (who was awesome but could maybe do more tight work considering he is in theory the big mean experienced campaigner in the tight 5)

3. Beale. His defence was not great and he was suspect under the high ball but his attacking running was sensational. Showed Giteau how to run, draw a man and then pass. Almost Ella-esque in quality.
2. Mitchell. Played like a winger should.
1. Cooper. When he had ball-in-hand looking for runners we looked great.
Honorable mentions to Sharpe, Benny and Pocock.
Dishonorable mentions to Maafu, Brown, Giteau (did you even see him except for penalty kicking?) AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (how could you, as our crash-ball centre who never passes let a 75kg halfback clean you up?) and JOC (James O'Connor) who scored one try as an inside centre off KB (Kurtley Beale) and another lucky dropped ball but showed he still doesn't know how to play wing.
Worst member of the team: Deans for not being able to see that both Fainga'a and Genia were stuffed at 60 and needed replacing and Giteau was having zero impact and should have been replaced by Barnes. Clearly he was watching the game being played in his head, not the one on the park.

1. Sharpie - Nathan Sharpe
Names in full to see if rugbywiki can pick them up.
Note to Moses et al, perhaps the forums need to automatically pick up the GAGR nicknames of players into the wiki links

3 Sharpe - played very tight and had a huge workrate
2 Pocock - a couple of very timely breakdown TOs. Somewhat exposed at times when ball went wide by lack of support
1 Beale - counter attack and support play, that's what you want from your FB
