Along with the reviews of the week like the post below, each week we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for Wallaby playing form. Within each Aussie teams’ match review, you’ll find us singling out three players:
Wallaby who put his hand up
Wallaby who did himself no favours
Bolter watch (no capper having a belter)
Looking back over the year, this should give a few pointers at who we’d hope to see get a run. This week I’ve gathered them all here, have a look and see what you think.
| Brumbies | Force | Reds | Waratahs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wallaby who put his hand up | Stephen Moore– Set up his own try with a run around and backing up of the play | Matt Hodgson – dynamic | Horwill – playing out of position was the man-of-the-match on a losing team. | Wycliff Palu – come the moment, on the 80th minute, come the man |
| Wallaby who did himself no favours | George Smith– In retirement mode already? | Ryan Cross – it didn’t look good inside him(!) but he didn’t help | None – no wallabies had a shocker | Berrick Buns – the midfield bomb from his own 22 was a symptom |
| Bolter watch (no capper having a belter) | Christian Lealiifano – Solid without being too flashy | Sam Wykes – bullocking performance from the young lock | Higgers. Some great runs and stoic defence. His athletic ability is outstanding | Ben Mowen – stood out when he came on in a bland team performance |
