RugbyHeaven player ratings for round four

Paul Cully, March 12, 2011

Every week RugbyHeaven will rate the performance of every player in the Australian sides in the Super rugby competition.

Any player who reaches five games will be given an average score for the competition. After round five, each week we will name the Wallabies side based solely on performances of eligible Australian players in this year's Super Rugby based on their average score.

If a player, such as Ben McCalman, plays in a number of positions, RugbyHeaven will pick them in their best position.
James O'Connor of the Force is the first player to be rated a 9 this season.

Ratings key:
10 - Perfect; 9 - Sensational; 8 - Excellent; 7 - Good; 6 - Fair; 5 - Ordinary; 4 - Poor; 3- Diabolical; 2 - Pathetic
*Players must play at least 15 minutes to get a ranking.
