It was great to see the Wallabies end their Grand Slam tour with a polished performance, well done guys.

Here is how the Mort rated their last performance for 2009:

15. Adam Ashley-Cooper – Quiet game but solid on defusing wales attacking kicks. 6

14. Peter Hynes – Also pretty quiet game, knocked on one pass from Elsom. 5

13. Digby Ioane – Looked good and reminded me of how he play at the Reds. Dangerous. 7

12. Quade Cooper – Very solid game. Did what he had too. Didnt overplay anything. 6

11. Drew Mitchell – Drew also quiet. Cant remember anything he good or bad. 5

10. Matt Giteau – Similar to Quade I thought. Did all the right moves when needed at the right times. 8

9. Will Genia – Love the way he plays. True scrum half. Solid all the way. 7

8. Wycliff Palu – Getting stronger every game. Always has one or two breaks a game. 7

7. David Pocock – Outstanding in the first half. Best first half player on ground and get my Man of the Match. 10

6. Rocky Elsom – Links well with backs and scrambles well in defence. 7

5. Dean Mumm – Was he on the pitch? I’m sure he did his job. 5

4. James Horwill – Scored a good try. I don’t think Wales troubled him at any stage. 6

3. Ben Alexander – Outstanding. Solid in scrum and linking well in attack. 8

2. Stephen Moore – Threw well in the linout till he got injured. 6

1. Benn Robinson – Big Ben again played well above his height. Best player in the forwards all tour. Consistent performer. 8

Run on reserves:

16. Tatafu Polota-Nau – Backup well to get a try of Gits magic. 7

17. Matt Dunning – Came on late. 5

18. Mark Chisholm – Did not play

19. George Smith – Came on in the 2nd half to replace Pocock. Left off from DP and played out of his skin. 8

20. Luke Burgess – Did not play

21. James O’Connor – Replaced Mitchell late in 2nd half. No highlights. 5

22. Kurtley Beale - Replaced Hynes for his Debut. Congrats KB. 5
