Superstar gives Kevvie big headache; Latrell’s wake-up call — Kangaroos Player Ratings

Fox Sports' Paul Crawley evaluated the Australian Kangaroos following their comeback victory over New Zealand to begin their 2026 World Cup campaign. Winger Jack Bostock received the top rating of 9 after scoring three tries and providing a try assist. Crawley argued that Reece Walsh's performance at fullback presents a selection dilemma alongside James Tedesco, while Latrell Mitchell struggled to make an impact, receiving a rating of 5.

Crawley awarded captain Isaah Yeo an 8 after leading the forwards with 101 meters and 39 tackles. Kotoni Staggs received the lowest rating of 4 following a sin bin and errors, with Crawley suggesting Tom Trbojevic should shift to right center. Halfback Mitchell Moses was rated 5 after exiting in the 42nd minute with a leg injury, allowing replacement Tom Dearden to impress with a 7.
