NSW debutant Jack Bostock has endured a nightmare introduction to representative football, dropping the ball cold in what appeared to be an absolute certainty for a try.
The first-time New South Wales player found himself in the perfect position to cross for what would have been a straightforward four points, only to fumble the ball and come away empty-handed in a moment that will be difficult to forget.
The error came as a significant blow in the context of the match, with the dropped ball denying NSW points that looked all but certain on the scoreboard. For Bostock, it was a cruel introduction to the pressure and spotlight that comes with pulling on the state jersey for the first time.
