Very good game.

He took the fight to them very well, scored a try well, won a couple of mall turnovers, whatever.

He rose to the occasion.

And then the ball breaks to Peno.

Now, I know they're very good at breaking ball, but even so, he just hacks it through.

And then he gets away with a little nudge in Gibson Park in the back, and the ball bounces up perfectly for him to feed Bielberry one-on-one, and there's only one outcome when that happens.

They do have the best finisher in the world, and he's just been one player of the tournament to go a player of the Six Nations.

He'll probably win World Player of the Year.

Has anybody ever won all three?

I doubt it.

I'll have to go back and test that.

He probably will.

He's just the best finisher in the world by distance at the moment.

So that was really unlucky.

As for Chip True and Gray's and Hugo Keane, the source of the five-meter scrum was very unlucky.

What happened from the five-meter scrum was a...

Another bad moment for the Jacques Ninemar defence.

And it was my underlying fear going into this match, Nathan, that this was going to happen to them.

That they were going to get outflanked out wide by this outside-in blitz defence.

And it was very exposed.
