#5. Nick Tompkins (Wales)
Rugby Pass 4/10: “n a team that are seemingly incapable of getting over the gain line, inside centre is not the position to play. Nick Tompkins was frequently tasked with crashing the ball up the middle from slow ball and as a result errors did come. Crucially tripped over in Italy’s first try, and had the ball ripped from him in Wales’ best attacking position in the first half. Linked well with North on occasions, but was roped off shortly after the break.”
Rugby Pass 4/10: “Like most of Wales’ players the Saracens star did not have many positive moments. He battled on attack as he made several handling errors at crucial moments and it was not surprising when he was replaced by Mason Grady early in the second half.”
RUCK 5/10: “Partnering up with North for the final time, the two midfielders interlinked well in their final partnership. Unforced knock-on at 16 minutes, in what was a poor error from the back of a maul. Tripped up as Ioane is gifted an immense gap to score a try. Spilled the ball once again at 38 minutes, and punched the floor in frustration. Couldn’t halt Pani’s run to the line as the fullback split through the Welsh defence. Off at 48 minutes after an uninspired outing.”
Wales Online 4/10: “Started well with one good turnover and a big carry but spilt the ball forwards too often while the Wales midfield lacked any sort of penetration. Replaced by Mason Grady who made a big difference.”
