Sam Walker provides a key try assist, throwing a cut-out pass that sets up Smith at half-time in the match, according to multiple reports.
All three outlets describe the same moment: Walker’s trademark style pass creates the try-scoring opportunity for Smith right around the half-time interval. The coverage focuses on the play’s impact rather than on broader tactical themes or controversy. The outlets’ wording centers on the timing—just before or at half-time—and the “beauty” of the pass, highlighting Walker’s playmaking role in creating the score.
While the sources align on the core incident and its significance as a try assist, they do not add materially different information about other aspects of the game in the material provided here. As presented, the common thread is that Walker’s decisive half-time pass directly leads to Smith crossing for a try, with the reporting emphasizing the quality of the assist.
