It was pretty flowing.

And we've got to talk about the 57th minute send-off of Caelan Ponga.

It really changed the game.

I mean, I've always, I've actually thought that

You've got to have some Simba action for leading with the head, even if it is just a head clash.

That looked like a shoulder charge for me, but I thought a Simba would have been enough for that.

I thought the send-off changed the game too much.

Yeah, it also did look like he was almost leading with his head like a headbutt.

So it was a bold move.

Also, he was trying to speed run a back injury with the way he was catching the ball in the backfield early in the game.

Ponga just kept doing these enormous jumps and landing flat on his back.

He was really electric.

So in terms of a raw footy fan...

It was sad to see him go for that last 20 minutes.

But the Blues have come back and the series is alive.

Oh, yeah.

Oluwatu, I just love watching him play.

He bent the line a lot.

I think he's going to be happy as a debutant.

Same with Ethan Strange.
