Ben Donaldson was the hero with an unbelievable solo try to secure the win when the game looked all but over.

So what did we learn?
There’s no better start to a Super Rugby season for Australian fans than that.
All three Australian sides showed remarkable courage to defy late deficits and come away with the win.
There’s a growing belief within Australian sides even since the England win in Twickenham, and it’s shown over the past 24 hours.
There were two cracking games between the Kiwi sides in between the Aussie wins.
The best competition in the world; don’t do ifs, buts or maybes, just absolutes.
Big players make big plays, and there was no one bigger than Ben Donaldson to steal victory for the Force.
After 26 phases, the Force were going nowhere before the flyhalf took the line on and sprinted through the gap to somehow claim the win at home.
He set up the win throughout the night with his perfect goal-kicking and try assist to Mac Grealy
It’s even more remarkable when you consider he looked gone when he rolled his ankle on Jackson Garden-Bachop.
Scrumhalf Nic White was excellent for the Force in his push for Lions' redemption.
White controlled the game superbly and threw an excellent ball to hit Dylan Pietsch in stride to set up Marley Pearce’s try.
He was joined in kind by fellow Nic - Nic Dolly - with the hooker excellent on debut.
His core skills were great, especially at lineout time, to show why he was favoured over Brandon Paenga-Amosa and Tom Horton.
The depth in the openside position is crazy in Australia, with Carlo Tizzano answering Luke Reimer’s blinder.
Tizzano is Mr Reliable in the west, crossing for a first half double at the back of the rolling maul.
He was also constantly making strong tackles and worked tirelessly.
Fraser McReight remains the premier seven in the country but the depth behind him has never been stronger.
Kyren Taumoefolau may be one of the best young wingers in the world by the end of this year if his first game is anything to go by.
The Tongan international flies under the radar but this was a real breakout performance for the 21-year-old, burning the Force for a double.
Taumoefolau’s freakish pace is just what Moana Pasifika needs - a game-breaker that can create something out of nothing.
Flyhalf Jackson Garden-Bachop was also solid in his return to Super Rugby, including slotting a handy drop goal from right in front.
