Agree with your 3,2,1 Reg, but probably not Quade.

I think he fell into old habits of pushing pop passes where he just needed to go to ground and let the team recycle. There were to costly times, first 30 seconds and then towards the end of the first half where he was 30cm out from the line and just flung it at Slippers head.

Holloway great, would've given him a spot but a couple of pens, although one was total bullshit at the lineout.

The Ikatua's one in the first 5mins was right on his chest tho, he should have caught that and made a clean line break. Players just aren't use to playing with him yet.

This was a tough week, lots of great choices. I'll go with:

3. FF (Folau Fainga'a)
2. Valentini
1. Swain

HM: Petaia, Paisami, White, Wright.
McReight and Holloway started slow but got better and better as game went on. Leota off the bench was destructive too.

very difficult could of swapped those players around and done a full new 3,2,1 and would of been happy with that. Well done Wallabies best game to watch for ages. Pumped for Fraser, horrible way to get a run on however thought his second half was strong.

Maybe an odd choice but I thought he stood up and made good decisions as captain, was very strong in carries and defence and went well during a long playing time for a prop in a tough game like that.
HM Holloway, Cooper, Valentini and Swain. Never thought I would give points to Fainga'a but he was excellent in what was a hard-fought and great game.
Would have given 3 points to whoever said 'let's go for the bonus points'.

Pretty sure it was Wright who said "let's go for the bonus points"

Good performances from Paisami, Ikitau, Petaia and Wright.
