15 - Matt Perry
The Bath full back started poorly, missing numerous line-kicks and failed to impose himself on the game thereafter.

14 - Dafydd James
Despite an early break, James came off a poor second against Joe Roff. He leaked two tries down the right flank and frequently knocked on in contact.

13 - Rob Henderson
After a superb performance in the first Test the Irish centre looked out-of-sorts in Melbourne. Did little with the ball in hand and failed to break down an impressive Australian defensive line.

12 - Brian O'Driscoll
Showed his class again - but only in glimpses. Broke the Wallaby defence twice, but his teammates were unable to provide him with enough clean ball to allow him to truly shine.

11 - Jason Robinson
A vital cog in the opening Test, the ex-rugby league flyer touched the ball only a handful of times and was unable to show his blistering pace. Put in some big tackles and did little wrong going backwards.

10 - Jonny Wilkinson
A tale of two halves for the England fly-half. Wilkinson bossed the first period superbly, but his intercepted pass changed the game. Left the field early with a damaged knee.

9 - Rob Howley
Did little wrong with ball in hand and looked every part the attacking scrum-half. Gave away a mindless penalty in the opening half, however, and lost his personal battle to man-of-the-match George Gregan

8 - Scott Quinnell
Awseome in the first-half, Quinnell's rampant charges put Australia on the back-foot. Frequently guilty of running out of support in the second-half he was lucky to stay on the field after two late tackles.

7 - Neil Back
Gained his place in an attempt to stave off the threat of George Smith, but proved largely ineffective in a pack that came off second best both in the tight and the loose. Redeemed himself by scoring the Lions' only try.

6 - Richard Hill
Performed well with ball in hand, but left the field to a blood injury at half-time and was replaced by Martin Corry.

5 - Danny Grewcock
A quiet game after an outstanding first Test. Was harried in the line-out and looked shaky against the imposing figures of David Giffin and John Eales.

4 - Martin Johnson
Won a number of key line-out balls, but lacked the support he needed from his second-row partner. Made some fine runs with ball in hand, but lost his composure late on.

3 - Phil Vickery
Struggled to impose himself in the scrums against an impressive Australian front-row and was unable to make his mark with his trademark charges in midfield.

2 - Keith Wood
A reasonable performance from the Irish captain, despite a shaky line-out. His charging runs continued to ask questions of Australia and he again provided a superb link.

1 - Tom Smith
Made some big tackles but failed to gain any superiority over his opponents. Failed to assert himself in the second-half.
