Sunderland beat Stade Rennais 2-1 in their final pre-season friendly on Saturday. Second half goals from Brian Brobbey and Trai Hume helped turn the contest around for the Black Cats after they fell behind to a penalty in the first half. Here’s how we rated all the Black Cats involved on the afternoon... 1. GK - Robin Roefs Unlucky not to save the penalty which he got a good hand on. Didn’t have a great deal to do after that. 6 | Getty Images 2. RB - Trai Hume Reverted to right back with Meunier absent. Took his goal very well to continue a good pre season campaign. 7 | AFP via Getty Images 3. CB - Dan Ballard Gave away a penalty when a touch late to a challenge but played well generally and looks increasingly sharp ahead of the new season. 6 | AFP via Getty Images 4. CB - Luke O'Nien Another really strong performance to end pre season. Defended well and good in possession. Will surely start at Ipswich now. 7 | AFP via Getty Images
