What must grind at Best most though is that, even if the game was going to be boiled down to that one final play, he's certainly not the only who should be taking the blame.
The lineout play involved four people.
Best was one of them. Maro Itoje was the jumper. Joe Marler and Kyle Sinckler were supposed to help him get into the air. Only one man carried out that job.
Look at that again.
But, this time, watch Kyle Sincker in front of Itoje reacting very late.
Best prepares the throw.
The ball is in the air and Sinckler still hasn't readied to lift.
Itoje is about to jump, Sinckler still hasn't reacted.
Marler ends up doing the brunt of his lifting on his own and Itoje can't get high enough.
It's too late.
Perhaps Best shouldn't have thrown the ball so early, perhaps he should've just thrown it better.
Kyle Sinckler actually had a good game when he came on but he definitely played a part in that cock-up at the end.
He certainly wasn't alone in the breakdown though. And that breakdown certainly wasn't alone in bringing about defeat for the Lions either.Live sport on TV in Ireland this weekend – Football, GAA, Rugby – April 24th to 26th
