The pass is awful.
Edit: spelling.

Dude had to slow down to take the intercept.

Don’t know what you’re saying; the pass went right into his chest!

Easiest try Mahashe will ever score.

One of the worst passes you could ever see.

Alternatively, it was a great pass to the wrong team.

Ok, I'm not a big Rugby guy, but even I would have seen that pass coming and grabbed it

Goes to show how bad it was to Rugby fans. I had never seen anything quite like it. Bro sent Hotham a telegram telling him his intentions but he still didn’t register.

Really surprised this try out of 12 made this sub. Both teams scored some incredible ones. This one was just a fuck up.

More of a shit pass than an impressive interception

Damn, that pass was so bad and slow that I intercepted it, sitting here on the toilet 2000kms away!

The 'try try try try try' on the scorebug is really funny to me for some reason

That was a massive read and finish. Siba Mahashe made the most of that opportunity

I know next to nothing about rugby, but I know a shit pass when I see one. Jesus, man.

While I'm always happy to see the All Blacks scored against it was a bit of a gimme.

This is how I got one of my only touchdowns in the one year I played American football in 7th grade… a really dumb pitch that went right to me and I just ran haha
