I played this game recently and thought the last 5 moves (or four) could make a really good puzzle.. any opinions

Fun mate!  Not forced though I'm afraid, his 2nd to last move white wasn't forced to capture the rook.  Also because he's up a piece, he can certainly afford to leave the bishop there and let black take it (because as the game showed it's mate otherwise).
