Italy v All Blacks

[sparky]

That's a Yellow. Other players have adapted to the WR's directions. The Barretts haven't.

[Bones]

Why isn't that a yellow card then?

You cant hit his head, and you you cant roll him.

So how do you clean him when his head is below his hips?

Backwards, not onto his knee. Not hard to understand

[Yeetyaah]

Man this is shit

[frugby]

Game is a mess, referee's a mess. Italy getting away with blue murder at the breakdown.

Italy 6 All Blacks 3.

Italy looking comfortably the better side so far.

[Darth Sader]

Taking nothing away from Italy, how crap are we playing. The team looks really underprepared.

[mencey]

why is he the fucking captain ?

[kpkanz]

How often does Rieko knock it on actually

[Yeetyaah]

Is this how the game is played in the NH? Genuinely, all of these teams bar England have just flopped all over the ruck this whole tour.

Youll hit him in the head then. There is no other square footage to hit.

But they seem to get away with it... the main issue I have is the way the refs coach them out of it .. after they have already slowed the ball down....

Which is at least 50% of the game.
