It's a similar line-up for Chin, but he's not able to use his momentum in the strike.
It looks so strange to see him standing still just as he's about to meet hurl with sliotar.
And the follow through is nowhere near as threatening.

It still ended up going over the bar, though, and it does beg the question, does a simpler motion like this, which reduces the risk of the sliotar being miscontrolled during the lift and preparation phase, offer more security to a free-taker?
It obviously wouldn't work for long-range frees, where a player needs to use all their power to get the distance right, but for the close range ones, would a lob type effort like this be more accurate?
It's definitely debatable.
On a day when John McGrath revolutionised the art of the sideline-cut, maybe Ireland's loss to Scotland wasn't the worst thing in the world.
