Tom Wright
Demonstrated confidence with a strong performance, scoring a try and driving attacks forward while landing a crucial 50:22 kick. Set an assertive tone from the fullback position. 8
Max Jorgensen
Active throughout the match on the right wing, constantly pressuring Lowe. His well-placed kicks maintained territorial dominance. 7
Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii
Had moments of brilliance, including a key role in Wright’s try, but struggled defensively and was caught out in possession, leading to a heavy hit from Curry. 6
Len Ikitau
Made numerous carries and delivered solid defensive work, including a vital covering tackle to deny Kinghorn a try. 8
Harry Potter
Limited involvement before an injury forced him off after 19 minutes. 5
Tom Lynagh
Another promising display, aside from a late missed touch-finder. Kicked accurately and directed the attack with creativity and composure. The young playmaker looks comfortable at this level. 7
Jake Gordon
A stark improvement from the first Test—energetic, decisive, and instrumental with ball in hand, including scoring a try. 8
James Slipper
Defensively strong, stopping a Conan try before scoring himself. Struggled at scrum time, however. 6
David Porecki
Key to Australia’s improved lineout, providing a reliable platform for the team to build on. His contributions were invaluable. 7
Allan Alaalatoa
Outplayed by Porter in the scrums and was replaced at halftime. 5
Nick Frost
Central to the lineout’s success and effective in clearing rucks. His work rate was impressive. 7
Will Skelton
Made a physical impact with strong carries, testing the defense until he left the field early in the second half. A crucial presence for Australia. 8
Rob Valetini
Topped the carry count in the first half before exiting at halftime. His physicality was a clear asset. 8
Fraser McReight
Made sporadic contributions in open play but was largely ineffective at the breakdown. 6
Harry Wilson
The captain worked hard, whether contesting clear-outs or carrying the ball, though with limited success. 6

Billy Pollard (for Porecki, 56) 6, Angus Bell (for Slipper, 40) 6, Tom Robertson (for Alaalatoa, 40) 6, Jeremy Williams (for Skelton, 47) 6, Langi Gleeson (for Valetini, 40) 7, Carlo Tizzano (for McReight, 60) 6, Tate McDermott (for Potter, 19) Made a notable impact in an unfamiliar role.
