"Not-so-clever" - 4 players who underperformed in the opening round of the Autumn Nations Series

Rugby Pass (6/10): "A couple of trademark steals on the decks but not too much by way of explosive carrying. Made way at halftime."

Wales Online (4/10): "Not-so-clever Elias missed his targets at key line-outs and also missed a tackle in run-up to TJ Perenara’s try. He has to improve his throwing at this level."

Wales Online (5/10): "While he stepped up with some decent lineout takes, he couldn’t exert a major influence on the match. He won’t find many better opponents than Whitelock and Retallick, mind."

Rugby Pass (5/10): "Throwing an intercept to Beauden Barrett was the worst possible start for Anscombe, possible justifying fears that his return to Test rugby might have been rushed. He wasn’t his only error but to his credit, he didn’t totally self-combust.  Priestland replaced him in the 46th minute, although whether that was a player welfare decision or shepherd’s crook, or a bit of both, was unclear."
