[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 485809, member: 13739"] Alot of those make no sense. Well the England ones are ok (although Croft and Robshaw should be one lower). I don't understand how they can comment that Heartley stood up well in the scrum when it was going backwards. Might not have been his fault, but impossible to tell. Their backline scores are pretty accurate. As for the Welsh scores, wuite a few off the mark I feel. Gethin Jenkins should be one higher, as he was up there as one of the best players. I'd also raise Ken Owens' score who was actualy pretty decent imo. I don't understand why they are making out that Wales lost every one of their lineouts. We lost two (still not great, but far from a complete disaster, with England also losing one). Adam Jones is another that deserves higher, as he had one of his best games for Wales imo, with a more noticable workrate than normal, and a monumental scrummaging display that seems to have gotten slightly glossed over. I have no idea why Ian Evans has been marked so low, as he was the best lock on the field imo. His lineout work was top notch imo, providing very clean ball from the middle. His work in the tight was also excellent with plenty of tackles, and some good rucking. North might deserve one better, but it's touch and go. I thought Davies was another stand-out performer, but was overshadowed by Tuilagi, so a 7 is probably fair overall. I'd bump Halfpenny up another point, because he was huge in this game. I'd question Scott Williams' score of 8. Yes he scored the winning try, but he also butchered a certain try aswell, put the two together and it doesn't equal the same as Warburton etc. [/QUOTE]
