#3. Ethan de Groot (New Zealand))
Rugby Pass 4/10: “Had a tough evening up against the sizeable Uini Atonio, copping two penalties in the first half. Dropped the ball trucking it up when NZ were hot on attack when he really needed to deliver it wide. Off in 53rd minute.”
Stuff 3/10: 1“Penalised twice at scrum time as he struggled against France No 3 Uini Atonio, and then knocked on as he tried to stamp his authority with ball in hand. After a similarly tough outing against South Africa, his form is suddenly an unexpected concern.”
Planet Rugby 4/10: “The loosehead had a torrid time in the scrums where, by and large, Uini Atonio schooled him. He was under pressure, conceded two penalties in the first half, and did little around the park.”
