I think bringing Bale and Conor Roberts on for the last 10 minutes was an indication of how much a win against a top ranked side meant to Page. And a boost to the team's confidence by securing a victory cannot be underestimated.

If dangerous tackles had been flying in from the opposition, I very much doubt if Bale would have been risked, even at the expense of not being able to close out the game.
