Wallabies full-back Israel Folau was the only player to receive points in the Growden Medal following the All Blacks annihilation in Auckland.

As an indicator of how poor the Wallabies were at Eden Park, just one player rose from the mire to play with any form of consistency. Folau was solid in all aspect of the game, unlike the bulk of his teammates, who had forgettable nights.

Winger Adam Ashley-Cooper remains the early leader.
