Valentine Holmes scored six tries against Fiji (count 'em), but somehow Cameron Smith was named Man of the Match.

Yeah, Smith is good, and played well, but Holmes scored SIX tries. SIX!!
That's 24 points. Just short of half of Australia's total score.
The disrespect is incredible.
"I don't think I'll ever see anything like it again in my lifetime," said Mark Geyer of Holmes' performance.
Typically, Holmes gave credit to his teammates.
"I'm enjoying the tournament so far," he said in one of the understatements of the World Cup.
In social media-land, there were plenty of people wondering if there had been some kind of mistake.
How the hell does Cameron Smith get man of the match when Valentine Holmes scored 6 TRIES?!?#RORT #AUSvFIJ #RLWC2017

Holmes not getting man of the match is like when a full forward boots 8 in AFL, but doesn’t get Brownlow votes. WHAT. ELSE. DOES. A. WINGER. HAVE. TO. DO.

I’m not a big fan of giving man of the match to whoever scored the most tries... But Val Holmes scored 6! Pretty stiff to miss out #RLWC #AUSvFIJ

So the guy who scored 6 tries was not man of the match? #AUSvFIJ
