I've had two in big games, two where it's happened where I've been told a call and the call I was told was not what happened next.

Where there was a breakdown of communication.

playing against Exeter, the Aviva, and we were behind for the entirety of the game.

We get ahead, the last line of the game to close it out.

And the call was that he was going to be coming, he would come into the line-out and it would be him coming forward and going up.

And that's finally what gets told to me and I'm looking at him coming in and he's his head down as if he's got a back lift, the person at the front comes to the very front.

I'm looking at this bin like, at what point is the person in front of me going to turn around to front lift them?

And they're both looking at me as if they're about to go up.

I'm like, okay, I'm going to have to just do this here.

Hope for the best.

So I just chuck it in.

We somehow scrape it back or whatever.

And anyway, we close out the game and it's fine.

I was like, what on earth?

He's like, oh, I changed my mind.

He's like, well, do you think the only other person who might need to know that you changed your mind is me?

He's like, oh, we won it.

It's grand.

It's great.

He was like, well, it worked out.
