As ever in a one score game, there were a several crucial moments that could’ve swung the contest.

More often than not at least one of these moments will go on to be heavily debated and this clash was no exception.

Getting set for an attacking line-out, Canes Hooker Asafo Aumua who had a blinder of a game through the ball in to a ready Savea.

From here the two dynamic forwards pulled off some sublime interplay for Savea to sprint over for a crucial score.
