Your Man of the Match against Wales in Cardiff

Wallabies lock Mark Chisholm was Your Man of the Match against Wales

Brumbies second rower Mark Chisholm has won the award for Your Man of the Match as the Wallabies went down narrowly to Six Nations champions Wales in Cardiff on the weekend.

The giant lock provided the highlight of the match when he grabbed a loose ball at the line out and thundered away 60-metres downfield to score an astonishing solo try.

“Chis” grabbed 36.9% (920 votes) of the 2494 votes we received, and his Your Man of the Match nod is deserved recognition for his whole-hearted effort on the Wallabies Spring Tour.

Runner up was another hardworking member of the pack, Reds flanker Hugh McMeniman (28.3%) who was prominent in the loose and at breakdowns and set pieces in another eye-catching display.

NSW Waratahs scrumhalf Luke Burgess, who had one of his best games ever in a gold jersey, came in third with 15.7% followed closely by outside centre Ryan Cross (13.4%), who took up the gauntlet of the mid-field after the early departure of Stirling Mortlock and made his as usual outstanding breaks.

Rounding out the Top 5 was Waratahs flanker Phil Waugh (5.6%) who again put in a one hundred and fifty percent effort tearing into rucks and working hard to secure the Wallabies ball.
