I'd knock Halfpenny down to a 7, or even 6.5, for his part in the kicking game yesterday. Also, it would have been better for both sides if he hadn't made that phenomenal tackle! Thing is Burrell did pretty much everything right; he didn't ignore Halfpenny but stepped in to counteract the hit - and still went right out!

Additionally, whilst stats may not tell the whole truth, Alun Wyn, Ball and Lydiate all made as many or more tackles than Warbuton, and the latter two guys missed none. Alun Wyn also made more metres than any forward barring the two number 8's. I don't believe that relative to Jake Balls rating, 5 for Wyn-Jones is entirely fair; I just think you've come to expect more from Jones and are taking that into account. And Faletau made pretty much as many as Morgan, which I hadn't expected to see.

As for England: Hartley apparently made 13 tackles missing none - that's backrow level. But he gave away 4 penalties!

Sean Fitzpatrick described Hartley as world class which I doubt many people here would agree with!
