Aye, hardly any of their kicks found the ground.
A real talent.
Due to our much maligned defence keeping them largely penned in their own half or more usually behind their 40 metre line making it easier for Zak to read the kick & be in the right position to take it on the full.
Something we failed to do vs Cas the week before.
But Zak still has to catch the ball which he did on every occasion despite the strength & direction of the wind.
It's also good to see him still taking the kick offs even when Sinfield is on the pitch. His kicks are reminiscent of those of Pat Richards, put us immediately back on the front foot.
Plus at least one of his attacking kicks led to one of our tries.
IIRC they had to drop out twice straight from our kick offs. The last of which led to the penalty which meant we were going to at least draw the game.
