If there were ever two moments which proved Alun Wyn Jones is actually human, it was his two conversion attempts during the last throes of his runout for the Barbarians.
Jones, an 18-year veteran of the game, announced his retirement from international rugby shortly before the Baa-baas' game against the World XV at Twickenham on Sunday. Having turned out for Swansea, the Ospreys, Wales and the Lions, that Barbarians box was left unchecked and Jones sought to put that right before he hung up his boots for good.
He was given the honour of captaining Eddie Jones' Barbarians team and, in a try-laden match which saw the Baa-baas earn a 48-42 win, he was tasked with trying to slot two conversions, such is the tradition with outgoing players in these exhibition clashes.
However, Jones, with 158 Tests for Wales, 12 for the Lions and mountains of experience behind him, proved unequivocally that, having conquered most in this game, his goal kicking leaves a lot to be desired.
In what could be one of the last times we see the Wales great on a rugby field - there is the small matter of Swansea RFC's 150th anniversary on Wednesday which he is set to be involved in - Jones stepped up in the 73rd minute to convert Sam Johnson's try. Unfortunately, it was a woeful miss.
Not to be deterred, though, Jones, 37, was tasked once again with knocking over the extras after Seta Tamanivalu crossed in the 76th minute. The Welshman revved up the crowd with a slow hand clap, akin to Icelandic football fans in Euro 2016, as the Twickenham faithful urged him to finish on a high.
It wasn't to be, though, and another slice off Jones' boot saw the ball fly wide of the mark.
But it didn't take away from what was a magnificently entertaining game and a great occasion in west London. Indeed, Jones was beaming in his post-match interview with Channel 5 - although even he rightly admitted his kicking game needs work.
"It's huge, it's a great institution," Jones said of the Baa-baas. "Lots has been said globally about how the game needs the Baa-baas. I've missed this for 17 years, but if rugby was a language it would be pretty universal!
"I've got a big game in Swansea on Wednesday. Swansea RFC's 150th anniversary. I'm going to try and get fit for that one now - I've got two days to recover from this! But by the looks of my kicking, I'll have to play a few more to get that right!"
Asked what the next steps were for him now, though, Jones played a straight bat. "I've got a lot of life left in me. Whether it's in rugby, I don't know yet," he said.
"It's a strange feeling. [The Barbarians] is something I grew up on with my father and grandfather. That 1973 try by Sir Gareth (Edwards), I told the boys I grew up watching that on the VHS!"
