For 39 minutes, it didn't just rain on the Roosters.
Despite a clear, crisp winter's night, the proverbial poured down on the Tricolours and their skipper James Tedesco, their umbrella cartwheeling down Driver Avenue all the while.
Canberra's Jamal Fogarty spent his summer honing an already impressive kicking game alongside Ricky Stuart, and the first 30 minutes of an 20-18 win torturing the Australian, NSW and Roosters skipper with his aerial assault on Sunday night.
Tedesco eventually came good beneath the high ball - he is one of the best fullbacks the game has seen after all.
