ABs dominate stats columns after Round 1 of Autumn Nations Series

The first weekend of the Autumn Nations Series saw Australia see off Japan 32-23 before the All Blacks ran riot against the USA, amassing a total of 104 points to which the USA could only respond with 14. 

We take a look at the stats columns to see which individuals from the four sides went above and beyond in their attacking and defensive efforts. Unsurprisingly, when one considers the one-sided nature of the USA vs All Blacks encounter, the latter dominate this round of stats.
