Well… it was fun while it lasted.
The Wallabies’ comprehensive 27-13 loss to Scotland – compounded by Joseph Suaalii’s misery – is a reality check for Joe Schmidt’s team after two brilliant wins in a row, and puts paid to hopes of a Grand Slam that were starting to seem possible.
So… what now? Well, why not rate all 23 Wallabies who took to Murrayfield and go from there?
If you’re new to these parts, or just need a refresher: here’s what we usually go off:
1. Had he not played, the team would have been better off. Negatively affected the performance of the side. May God John Eales have mercy on his soul.
2. Anonymous. Was he even there?
3. Did some things that you expect a player to be able to do, but did a whole bunch of other things that sucked.
4. Was passable in patches, but not up to standard in a match of such importance.
5. Performed his role without anything really noticeable happening.
6. Good.
7. Pretty good, actually.
8. Very good.
9. Excellent.
10. Extraordinary. Calling them man of the match would be an insult.
