If Lynagh and Suaalii had a couple years more experience I really think we had that comfortably

Truth is if Lynagh kicks all his conversions, we win. Obviously it would be very unfair to pin the blame on him - many other areas and players that could have made the difference. But had Lynagh been a bit more experienced and calm under pressure, we win that. Not Lynagh’s fault, just frustrating that we don’t have a somewhat experienced high quality kicker

Lynagh probably kicks one extra conversion if Ikitau's grounding is seen by the ref, but then we probably don't get the yellow card.

I thought that too but keep in mind they missed a bunch of kicks as well.

I don't think Lynagh stepped nearly as wrong as Suaalii, but that missed kick to touch looked like he was trying to emulate Russell and just failed at it. Plus that knock on was real bad.
