Smith had a quick word with captain Kieran Read [clip below].
Read had spotted a massive gap out wide and he gestured to Smith. Tap and go!
When Smith took the tap, many Lions were still asleep at the switch. Alun Wyn Jones is done for this play. So is Mako Vunipola.
Toby Faletau breaks into a sprint, quickly followed by a jog. Sean O'Brien and Jamie George get off the line but Lions captain Peter O'Mahony knows something big is needed. He knows there are numbers out wide.
O'Mahony sprints up on Ben Smith but Beauden Barrett has other ideas. He cuts out Smith with a searing skip pass to Israel Dagg and O'Mahony is out of it.
Ben Te'o is lining up Dagg but, for some reason, Elliot Daly decides to step in. This lack of trust in Te'o's defence proves crucial.
As Daly bites, Dagg releases a low slinger to Codie Taylor. Most wingers would struggle to hold onto the ball but Taylor picks it up off his laces and glides home.
Daly is disgusted with his lazier teammates but he will have to take a look at his own role here. There was a two-on-two but his decision to drift in was the last in a long series of mistakes.
Here is the clip in full:
