1: James Slipper 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Solid performance in the Wallabies engine room from the hard-working front rower.<\/p>\n 2: Brandon Paenga-Amosa 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Was subbed off after 60 minutes, having put in a very well-rounded display. Scrummaging and lineout work was near exemplary, topped off with a well-deserved try from a lineout drive.<\/p>\n 3: Allan Alaalatoa 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Piled the pressure on at scrum time and acquitted himself well doing the dirty work.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Epic French meltdown gifts Wallabies victory<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> How Andrew Mehrtens saw the action unfold<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Wallabies star tears up in emotional interview<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n 4: Matt Philip 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Fiery display, which helped bring his team back into the match. A towering presence at lineout time, with a high workout rate and plenty of controlled aggression.<\/p>\n 5: Lukhan Salakaia-Loto 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n A steadying presence in the second row. Chimed in as needed as a lineout target and continued to provide pressure on defence all game.<\/p>\n 6: Rob Valetini 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Never really had front foot ball to showcase his damaging running skills and became isolated at times on attack, but defensive work was solid.<\/p>\n Get your tickets now for the Wallabies Test series against France!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n 7: Michael Hooper 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n The skipper had a knack for coming up big in the key moments. Created momentum shifting turnovers and scored a try from close range.<\/p>\n 8: Harry Wilson 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Shaky start from the ball-playing loose forward, but managed to work his way into the game and showed never-ending hustle in the second half, before being subbed with nine minutes remaining.<\/p>\n 9: Jake Gordon 4\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Had a pass to Hunter Paisami ruled forward to wipe out a try and a poor defensive read let France score. Plenty of effort, but also plenty of errors on a forgettable night.<\/p>\n 10: Noah Lolesio 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Felt a lot of pressure from the rushing French defence, but displayed some nice organisational touches and kicked the all-important goals when needed.<\/p>\n 11: Marika Koroibete 8.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Easily looked the most dangerous attacking player on the field, without much reward. His work rate remained high even as chances didn't necessarily flow his way.<\/p>\n 12: Matt To'omua 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Provided a valuable link option in the backline and a steadying influence for the less-experienced Lolesio.<\/p>\n 13: Hunter Paisami 4.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Had a number of strong charges but also a number of errors at crucial times. Usually has good instincts with when to kick, but didn't in this game.<\/p>\n 14: Tom Wright 4\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Struggled to get into the game and missed a golden opportunity for a try, albeit from a tricky bouncing ball.<\/p>\n 15: Tom Banks 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Errors marred his first half, but managed to bounce back in the second, as his wide roaming runs and kicking game became more prominent.<\/p>\n RESERVES<\/strong><\/p>\n 16: Lachlan Lonergan 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Came on in the final quarter and had his confidence dented by his first lineout throw not going straight.<\/p>\n 17: Angus Bell 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Put in a big hit to stop French momentum and forced a scrum penalty at a crucial stage of the match.<\/p>\n 18: Taniela Tupou 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Immediate impact with repeated scrum penalties, a huge line break and excellent defensive pressure on the final French lineout to help force the decisive turnover.<\/p>\n 19: Darcy Swain 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Came on for his Test debut with 25 minutes remaining and was solid.<\/p>\n 20: Isi Naisarani 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Brought on in the final 10 minutes and provided a few nice touches with the ball in hand, but conceded an important turnover.<\/p>\n 21: Tate McDermott 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n Provided spark in attack and his crisp passing game offered more fluency to the backline. Was on hand to grab an incredible turnover to keep the game alive.<\/p>\n 22: Len Ikitau N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n Did not play.<\/p>\n 23: Andrew Kellaway N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n Came on for the last 12 minutes to debut, but hardly saw the ball.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
