That was clunky at times, there were a few moments where they seemed to look lost for a second or someone was slightly out of position. There were some good moments and the leapfrog recovery sticks out in my mind but on the whole the match was just there. JBL's insistence that the match would be definitive was a give away at the start, it was good to pass the time but just there for me.– As a match it's * but personally I'd rate it 2.75/10
