JONATHAN THURSTON
Johnathan Thurston cast aside his personal family tragedy (his uncle was bashed to death in Brisbane) to produce a composed effort both against Kiwis and later against Fiji. Against Kiwis in Sydney Football Stadium, the star halfback had a hand in three of Australia's five tries, booted four goals to ensure an emphatic 30-6 win for the Kangaroos. Against Fiji in semi-finals Thurston bagged a hat trick which, along with his six conversions, completed a personal tally of 24 points.
