Heartbreaking.
In front from pillar to post at the MCG, a last-gasp try in highly controversial fashion saw the Wallabies lose in utterly brutal fashion to the British & Irish Lions, and ensure an unassailable 0-2 series deficit.
It’s time for a bit of a pick-me-up – or perhaps a chance for some catharsis: it’s time to rate the Wallabies’ 23 that very nearly pulled off a win for the ages.
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.
