And according to Natalie, that essentially handed New South Wales the opportunity for the comeback.

you and I we got bogged down in the fact that we were performing terribly New South Wales was doing a horrible job and we both tuned out of the game to then wake up in the morning and see that we had won we were like wow that is a comeback how did that happen um

Yeah, look, Natalie claims that this is all part of a ploy, that we played with an extra player for a quarter of the match and that was by design because otherwise we would have lost on home ground.

So there you go, Natalie.

We see your feedback.

We respond in kind.

Wong had made clear before the trip that the message to Beijing was simple.
