As the ball bounced through the hands of Matthew Morgan, all that was likely going through Tom Rogers' head was making sure he was first to the loose ball.
It's probably only after he scooped it up and walked over for the Scarlets' sixth try in their thrashing of Cardiff at the Arms Park that he considered the fact he's likely never had easier walk-ins than this one. Simply getting over the whitewash at all would have been a welcome feeling, too.
You'd have to go back to the first day of October to find the last time Rogers had crossed for a try. That day, he scored twice against the Emirates Lions.

Since then, he's gone eight games without touching down. That's not the end of the world, of course.
In his breakthrough season last year, he only touched down twice - with his all-round performances doing the talking on the way to a Wales call-up. But getting over for a long-awaited score was fine reward for the 23-year-old.
Certainly, the way he's been performing of late, tries were always going to come. In recent weeks, he's shown the sort of form that made Wayne Pivac sit up and take notice last year.
Last summer's call-up, and the caps against Canada and Argentina that followed, wasn't the smoothest path into Test rugby. It was undoubtedly a massive step up for someone who, at that point, had just played 15 games for the Scarlets.
There were learning curves aplenty, but it was an invaluable experience nonetheless. Since then, he's not featured in a squad as the senior stars returned from the Lions tour of South Africa. Such is the nature of Wales' Test schedule for the next year or so, there's no real way of knowing when Rogers will next be around the squad.
A brutal summer tour of South Africa, an autumn campaign involving New Zealand, Argentina and Australia and then a Six Nations campaign where a repeat of this year's performances simply won't be acceptable. None of them seem like the right opportunity to throw Rogers back into the cauldron of Test rugby.
Not that it really matters though. Rogers will get back there at some point, you'd expect.
Maybe in the next 12 months if his performances warrant it. Maybe a little later on.
That wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. After the Scarlets' defeat to the Sharks in South Africa, one of the main takeaways from those watching would have been that Rogers has a future in the game at full-back.
Taking high balls with ease, cutting devastating lines and timing passes - all things he did with aplomb against the South African outfit. It's been a similar story in other recent games.
Throw in his devastating footwork - who could forget how he beat a Connacht player in a phonebox last year to score a ridiculous try - and there's a real player developing there.
That's part of the reason that Scarlets fans haven't been tearing their hair out over the impending departure of Liam Williams to Cardiff. Granted, the Lions star didn't turn out for the Scarlets as much as they'd have expected in his second stint in west Wales, but a player of his talent is a loss regardless.
However, it could hand Dwayne Peel the chance to push through a fresher back-three. One of the issues with the Scarlets in recent years, much like the national team in fact, is that they feel like they're still living off the dying embers of better times a few years ago.
Many of the players involved in the PRO12 victory and Champions Cup run are still around, but are not quite the same forces as they once were. Peel needs fresh blood coming through.
The way they've managed Sam Costelow to date has worked, with a slower approach now paying off as he begins to string together consistently quality performances. Rogers at full-back, along with a rejuvenated Ryan Conbeer on one of the wings, is a back-three that can cause damage from week-to-week.
When everything in Welsh rugby is so geared towards Team Wales, just having a group of players who can do the business for the club week-in, week-out is something of a blessing. Rogers could certainly be that on current performances.
Granted, Test rugby will always come calling to those who make enough of a splash. But as we reach the end of the season, Rogers will know that his days as Williams' team-mate are numbered.
Continue in his current vein and he'll be his successor, perhaps not just in a Scarlets jersey, but another one of a slighter different shade of red.
“Being compared to Sanjay is awesome,” he said last year.
“He was my idol growing up. Just to be anything like him would be amazing.”
He might soon get his wish.
