Yep
That's an example where stats tell only half a story.
The ball went in and came straight back out.
They controlled the air and delivery inside 50 was poor.
On the ground it broke down around half-forward so a lot of those entries were shallow and they were able to mount attacks.
A lot of that is not due to anything other than a lack of defensive pressure in the forward line and that's why the scoreline ended up 60-0
