PLAYER RATINGS

LAURIE WHITWELL in Toulouse

WALES 84.5 (3-4-2-1) TEAM AVERAGE 7.68 HENNESSEY 7 Pulled off a superb save when Kokorin ran through. Handling from crosses relieved pressure. CHESTER 8 Nipped in to win possession and set up opening goal for another accomplished display in France. A WILLIAMS 8 Back to grizzly best, heading away at important moments and leading by example. DAVIES 7 Great interception to start move for second goal and offered good mobility at back. GUNTER 7 Took advantage of space on the right, advancing well to deliver some dangerous crosses. ALLEN 8.5 Utterly brilliant, showing off his full range of passing and providing vital dynamism. LEDLEY 7 Remarkably playing his third game in nine days following broken leg. Closed down well. TAYLOR 8 Did not know what to do when clean through, but found space well and scored in the end. RAMSEY 8 One of his best displays in a Wales shirt. Terrific finish to get party started. Plenty of flair. BALE 9 Back to his best and proving his class. Sliced through Russians time and again to get reward. VOKES 7 Delivered physical presence to occupy Russia’s centre backs but should have scored. SUBSTITUTES Edwards (for Allen 74min, 6) King (for Ledley 76) Church (for Bale 83).
