The one point that's been lost in all of this is that the try was a culmination of errors for Reynolds.
It all started in the 46th minute where Reynolds decided to go down the blind despite there being little room and Country having the numbers. Instead of earning a repeat set or putting up the kick, Reynolds puts Tedesco under all sorts and Country get a decent result out of it.
Next set, City are marching through the ruck, Moylan gets the ball, puts Reynolds through half a gap only for Josh to turn the ball over.
City are then defending their line for a few sets, they're on the back-foot and Country are clearly setting up numbers towards their left. Instead of reading the situation, Reynolds decides to take it upon himself to push Vaughan in the back when he's off the ball.
That leads right into the next play where Country spread it Reynolds' fringe. Josh is caught out so he flings out a stray boot because he has no other option and he's frustrated.
Just really selfish stuff from Josh and unacceptable at this time of year. He really should have made an effort after the Tedesco play to do the right thing, instead he's getting caught up in that cheap stuff.
Thankfully Country made him paid the price. Shame the same can't be said about the judiciary.
