2/10 – Five players who flopped during the Autumn Nations Series this weekend

#4. Gareth Anscombe (Wales)

Wales Online 6/10: “Only his second start at fly-half under Wayne Pivac. Kicks tended to find defenders rather than grass early on.”

Rugby Pass 5/10: “A mixed bag, particularly off the boot. Miskicked an attempted up-and-under towards the end of the first quarter which ended Wales’ first set of consistent phases on attack.”



#5. Beauden Barrett (New Zealand)

Rugby Pass 4/10: “One of his least influential games in the No 10 jersey, with the All Blacks starved of quick, clean ball. A nice grubber through was the initial spark for the All Blacks’ second try but his later attempts at short kicks didn’t reap rewards.”

Planet Rugby 5/10: “Some intelligent short kicks in behind the Scotland defence but on the flipside there were sloppy errors as he looked out of sorts in a rare chance in the number 10 jersey.”
