YORK Knights forward Bailey Antrobus was Wales' top metre-maker and top-tackler in their 36-0 World Cup defeat to Papua New Guinea.
Braces from Jimmy Ngutlik and Nixon Putt as well as Kyle Laybutt and Dan Russell tries and six Rhyse Martin goals guided PNG to a convincing victory.
The defeat ended Wales' tournament, having lost all three of their Group 'D' matches.
Antrobus (pictured) again stood out for Wales in the back-row, making 150 metres against PNG - seeing him surpass the 100 mark for the third match running in the World Cup.
No other Wales player made more metres, with Will Evans coming closest at 113. Only PNG pair Justin Olam (175) and Ngutlik (158) made more metres than the York forward.
Antrobus' metres came from 15 carries and he also provided one offload and one tackle bust.
The 22-year-old also made 34 tackles, more than any other player on the field. He did however produce two errors and miss four tackles.
