He was safe enough taking kicks, but where was he when Wighton scored the first try?
Wighton should never had that much room to run with no fullback being there in cover.
Watching the replay check the play the ball was centerfield, and he makes the break only 2 off the ruck ( at most). Did Elliot go the wrong way at fullback when the ball was played? He doesn’t come into shot chasing until the try is about to be scored. A fullback would have at least challenged in cover defence if he had been in position at the play the ball.
Edit: maybe he had made a tackle in the lead up ? I recall the break prior was based on a suli error, so maybe he was out of position because of that.
