Player of the match - Wallabies v Italy

[Sandpit Fan]

3. Rocky
2. Sharpe
1. Slipper - copped a pizzling but didn't lie down, against one of the best.

Would have given Barnes some points, but those hands... almost as if Ma'a Nonu got rid of his handling problems by passing them to Barnes. Not to take away from an excellent kicking performance. Someone tell me how many games we would have won in the last 18 months with a reliable kicker?

Is this the first game this year where Pocock/Beale aren't in the general consensus top 3?

 

[Crow]

I blame Pocock's headgear. Looked too much like Giteau.

They cleaned out really well, but I expect Pocock did a shed load of tackling (yeah he topped the tackle count with 14)

no

Must be pretty close to the first one since Beale has come into the starting side?

Special mention to TPN for the fro & mo combo

3. Barnes: purely on his kicking - he's doing what we need him to do: not worry about kicking
2. Rocky: captain's intensity
1. Burgess: played well in this game I thought, not always a big fan but happy he's our back up.
