I think he has a better chance of catching that than most people give him credit for.
The visuals are... But you know when you're trying to catch a ball and when, just because he's dived, so if he hasn't dived, his feet are under him and his hand is out and he hits his hand and it's hitting it up to himself, which he has done.
Yep.
But he's diving full length.
Yeah, so it's the dive bit that adds it.
We've never seen that really done before.
What we tend to see is more the Sam Prendergast one where it's reactionary going, you've stuck a hand out.
He's actually made a decision to go for a ball rather than it being a reflex.
So I think to me, that's when it kind of falls more into the probably a penalty was okay.
I'm glad you said it's the breakdown because I was watching it and... Sorry, I was accommodating on it.
And when you're accommodating, you're kind of going at full pace.
And it's very hard to pause and to process a lot of the stuff that's going on.
And that might sound counterintuitive, but it's like there was something in the back of my head just about the breakdown.
And it just...
What I was feeling in my head was the over-refereeing of breakdowns.
And I was like going, you need to stop coaching them on the field here because it's getting comical now.
Because you're just there going, why can't he go for that ball?
Because there's nobody on the feet from New Zealand.
It's just a ball carrier and two guys lying on the floor.
And Ty Burns looking at him going, why can't I go for that ball?
