Multiple outlets report that Lachie Galvin has a late try-scoring opportunity but is stopped just short of the line by Hohepa Puru. In the described play, Galvin charges clear toward the try line in the dying moments, creating a chance to score. However, Puru makes contact and grabs hold of Galvin’s shorts, preventing him from grounding the ball. Sources describe the stop as occurring about a foot short of the try line, meaning Galvin is denied by a narrow margin rather than an earlier breakdown in play. The reports focus on the decisive tackle or restraint in the final phase of the move, which turns what appears to be a clear run into a near miss. Beyond this incident, the provided excerpts do not include additional match context such as the final score, the competition, or the timing of the event. All three sources, however, consistently identify the same players, the same late breakaway, and the same reason Galvin is denied—Puru holding his shorts short of the line.
