3 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) - They gave him a winger to run at all game
2 Genia - Good speed to the ball, nice option taking
1 Robinson - Gave us a better, if not decent scrum and worked hard around the field

Special mention to:
Slipper for doing a job at THP
Barnes for working so hard in defence and running straight and being unselfish
Both locks and Rocky for their great lineout work

Honourable mention to, well, everyone else, except Gits and Benny A.

And thanks Santa! Higgers with a test cap is just what I wanted for Christmas!

Beale underplayed his hand superbly.
Mitchell finished adequately but put us under ridiculous pressure twice through shit kicks.
Barnes was non-stop. Love to see his tackle stats.
JOC (James O'Connor) was fantastic with ball, in defence and kicking.
QC (Quade Cooper) looked disinterested until the game started to open up.
Genia started poorly but got into the game well.
McCalman is too weak/tired, but did some decent runs late
Pocock is running like Palu at the moment
Sharpe perfect at the set piece (well, perhaps not the scrum)
Simmons worked hard
Alexander. I thought he was damn unlucky. Was actually playing really well but the decision to keep him off was the right one
Moore awesome game
Slipper another cracker

All played well, but I think AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Robo had the most impact on the game and Rocky's game was a great cap to a fantastic tour where he has really re-found his best form.

3 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) - The Earl made easy metres
2 Pocock - couple of good steals, made ground in tight, usual good stuff
1 Robinson - scrum marginally improved, did a lot of good work in tight, rewarded with a good try finish.

3. Adam Ashley-Cooper (most dangerous player in an outstanding backline, made something happen every time he touched it)
2. Berrick Barnes (played the no.12 role superbly, not getting involved too much but each time he did he went forward or organised the play well. Defence was as rock solid as usual)
1. Benn Robinson (turning point of the match was when he came on IMO. Was the right decision to leave him on over Alexander who was getting smashed. He and Slipper really solidified the scrum and was back to his best around the ground).

Slipper moving into THP and Robinson coming on made a big difference - as did the injury to the French hooker Servat.

It was really a good team effort, which was very pleasing. All worked well, and many could have had points (except maybe Cooper, McCalman, Alexander the fall guy)
