#4. Gareth Thomas (Wales)
Rugby Pass 3/10: “He was dominated at scrum time and looked out of his depth against a powerful Wallaby forward pack. Would have been relieved to exit the field shortly into the second half. Off at 41.”
Wales Online 5/10: “Came under pressure at the scrum and was sent to the sin bin midway through the second half. Left the field injured after 42 minutes”
Planet Rugby 4/10: “Was sent to the sin-bin early doors, but luckily for him his team stepped up in his absence. Was also bested in the scrum on multiple occasions, as he was against South Africa.”
#5. Ben Earl
Rugby Pass 5.5/10: “Missed a tackle anyone associated with England would have expected him to make on Perofeta in Ardie Savea’s try. One very costly error, but that’s all it takes at this level. England’s go-to man to crash into defenders in an epic battle with his counterpart Savea.”
Telegraph 5/10: “Nice offload combining with Mitchell but given the slip by Perofeta and that missed tackle led to Savea’s score. Not his best though with a couple of soft mistakes.”
