RUGBY UNION 6. SCOTT FARDY 5.5 Made two big handling errors in the final 15 minutes after he'd played himself to a standstill. Tackled centimetres short of the tryline late in the game. Big workrate. 
5. SAM CARTER 5 Made some second-half ball-carries, but not the big influence that coach Michael Cheika wanted. Lacked the big physical presence of the English locks. Rob Simmons should have started.
4. RORY ARNOLD 5.5 Good early power to his game but, like in Brisbane a week earlier, he was only good for a strong 25 minutes. Needs to go for longer, especially when the England locks sustained their impact.
3. SEKOPE KEPU 5.5 The diabolical shifting turf underfoot made scrummaging a nightmare for any prop. None of the big gallops that he produced at the World Cup in his 46 minutes on the field.
2. STEPHEN MOORE 6 Scored the Wallabies' only try with a well-constructured drive from a lineout. Penalised for standing up for his mate when he thumped into the ruck when Phipps was collared. Gutted at fulltime when he apologised to the fans for not getting the win.
1. JAMES SLIPPER 6 Slipper slipped on the poor turf when giving up one scrum penalty. Made some willing runs.
REPLACEMENTS
19. DEAN MUMM 5 Experience a big factor when called on at 35-minute mark as a bloodbin replacement for Rory Arnold. Was called as lineout catcher immediately, took a clean catch and Stephen Moore scored off the driving maul. Less impact when he returned.
18. GREG HOLMES 6 The scrum improved with Holmes and Polota-Nau on the field, but the game was lost in others areas.
17. TOBY SMITH 5.5 Prop who did his bit at the scrum. Linebreaks had to come from elsewhere.
20. BEN McCALMAN 5.5 Played the final 30 minutes at No.8. Worked hard but no holes in the defence to surge through.
16. TATAFU POLOTA-NAU 6.5 Excellent impact as replacement hooker and forced a scrum penalty with strong first scrum. Made a couple of rumbles but defence chopped him down.
22. NICK FRISBY NA Played the final stages but concentrated only on clearing the ball.
23. LUKE MORAHAN NAFirst Test since 2012 with token minutes at the end. No chance to make a mark.
