RUCK marks every Wales player after they bounced back from last week's loss to Australia by claiming a 13-6, if under-whelming, victory over Georgia at the Principality Stadium.
Scroll on down to see our player ratings.
Fullback: Liam Williams - 7.5/10
Looked a class act, making a decent case to be picked in his favourite position against the All Blacks next Saturday.
Winger: Alex Cuthbert - 5/10
He certainly saw a lot of the ball but rarely offered a threat. Should have scored in the first half but was held up.
Centre: Scott Williams - 5.5/10
It was a shock when the Scarlets centre was left out of Warren Gatland's original squad but he didn't do much here to prove the New Zealander wrong. Poor game.
Centre: Owen Watkin 5/10
The 21-year-old took a knock as he failed to take centre-stage in a midfield that failed to create enough.
Winger: Hallam Amos - 7/10
Bagged a try following a counter-attack and was unlucky to have a second ruled out. Definitely some promising signs.
Fly-half: Rhys Priestland - 6.5/10
The number 10 has rediscovered his best form for Bath this season but struggled to get going today. Great looping pass for Amos' try though!
Scrum-half: Rhys Webb - 8/10
The playmaker showed why he will be sorely missed when he moves to Toulon. He is such a composed and classy operator, who always seems to have time on the ball.
Number 8: Seb Davies - 6/10
Playing the lock out of position at No.8 was neither a success or a failure. He looked like a competent ball carrier and put in a few monster hits.
Flanker: Sam Cross - 4/10
The sevens Olympic silver medalist was making just his third start in 15-a-side professional rugby and only lasted until the end of the first half after taking a knock to the ribs. One
Flanker: Dan Lydiate (c) - 8/10
The man of the match captained his country to victory and was Wales’ top tackler by a country mile to stake a claim to start against the All Blacks.
Lock: Cory Hill - 5/10
Gave two needless penalties away in the first half, which put his team under constant pressure.
Lock: Adam Beard - 5/10
Tackle count was in double figures but he didn’t really impose himself on proceedings.
Prop: Leon Brown - 4.5/10
The 21-year-old came off second best against Montpellier star Mikheil Nariashvili.
Hooker: Kristian Dacey 6/10
Made 12 tackles during his 68-minute shift and the line-out went well. Scrum struggled throughout though!
Prop: Nicky Smith - 5/10
Huffed and puffed but achieved very little and struggled against a formidable Georgia front row in the scrum.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
