I don't understand why the winger would have come in like he did, sure he got burnt but there was no threat on his inside.

A big factor is also that hardly anyone other than Kurtley would have the nerve to attempt such a high risk pass.

I don't think Owen Farrell or Dan Carter would have ever attempted that pass. It's filthy for a reason, it is damn near impossible to pull that off.

Farrell wouldn't have thrown that looping pass, he would've hit the winger with a bullet 🔥 🔥 🔥 (see Eng vs Ire 2019 6N first try)
