It wasn't to be. A desperate dive from Dugan saw him stretch out an arm and tap Watkins' left ankle, enough to send him tumbling to the deck. It felt like a defining moment; it probably was a defining moment.

Sam Tomkins, part of the BBC team covering the final, was one of many to highlight its significance.
"The semi final against the Kiwis in 2013 with the Shaun Johnson try haunted us for four years going into this World Cup," he said.
"This one with the Josh Dugan ankle tap will be the image for the next four years but it's a fair effort to dive and make that tackle."
