1. Cooper
Genia controlled the Reds attack brilliantly, always seeming to choose the right moment to go wide or put boot to ball. Gill was industrious and a dominant force at the breakdown. Cooper was classy as always, although I wish he were more committed in defence.
I thought Higginbotham was especially poor today - two big missed tackles off the scrum, one of which led to a try. He was constantly out in the backs and I hardly saw him hit a ruck or make a tackle.
