...Right off the bench and into civilian clothes.
Joe Blow

He was actually pretty decent both at scrumtime and in general play.

Reckon you're wrong about Hodgson and Maafu but 100% right about the rest!

Tempted to give them all 1s as disgraces to our nation, but instead:
Daley - 7 Strong up front and useful round the park, he and Ma'afu were our best
Fainga'a - 5 Pretty meh but TPN showed just how well he threw in the conditions, and worked hard
Ma'afu - 7 He's seriously carrying some junk but he made it work for him. Solid in a front row that demolished Munster early, and good 'round the park
Simmons - 4 High impact. Both times he involved himself.
Mumm - 3/6 That depends whether he was calling the lineouts as expected
Higginbotham - 5 I was disappointed
Hodgson - 5 He secured some ball but was surprisingly effective. In the same positions it would have been Bam and the ball is gone
Brown - 5 He was Brown
Burgess - 5 Worked hard, but a really ordinary night. Besides one that went on the wind the box kick wasn't too bad, but his decision making was meh
Barnes - 3 Great defensively, but like everyone says major disappointment.
Morahan - 3 Played the invisible man
Fainga'a - 3 Disagree with his YC and some penalties but they happened. Like Barnes great defensively, like him let the team down.
McCabe - 4 Morahan's big contender
Davies - -1 Just shit
Turner - 5 Really solid all round but couldn't spark in the wet.
Polota-Nau - 6 by his own standards rusty. One dodgy lineout call but otherwise struggled to adjust. But worked hard and assuming nothing flares up expect him on the bench.
Slipper - 5 By reason of little time. Expected to feature against the Azzuri but could struggle if on TH side
Humphries - 5 Yelled lots, exhorted, may have screamed and shrieked but did little while the ball was moving
McCutcheon - 4 Everywhere doing nothing
Phipps - 4 Made Burgo look a good bet
Giteau - Not used
Hynes - 4 couldn't run out of steam
Daley - 7 Strong up front and useful round the park, he and Ma'afu were our best

Well by the sounds of Barnes, Giteau now seems a world beater
