Italy v All Blacks

Christ on a bike this is truly an awful spectacle

Up there with Bled 1, Argentina 1 and any number of 2nd halfs this year.

This time we started shit and the usual 2nd half shit-fest has manifested itself as well.

[antipodean]

Very good maul defence time after time. Nice to see some improvement in the team.

Clear yellow

ALB offers nothing and gets picked game after game

But but 'experience'

Jordie cops a lot of crap at times, but he's twice the player ALB will ever be.

how is our card record going this year?

Carding an Allblack is a rite of passage for any budding ref these days.

I blame SBW in Lions test 2.

Been an avalanche ever since.

We turn the other cheek way too much when sinned against.

We are disproportionately the most carded team in world rugby.

[sparky]

@KiwiMurph He was a good player five years ago, but he is well down our best midfield options now. One that I would let go and have a pay day in Europe or Japan.

Between the conditions, our performance, the referee, the commentary team (outside McTainsh) and the punditry, this might be the most henious test match ever.

The comments on here aren’t much better either

one day someone will mention the score.
17-6 to NZ after 49/50 minutes and 2 yellows (second just starting now).

Give him Fiji, at least, but other than that I've got nothing.

Yeah the glorified Drua side that day.

Wanted rid of him 5 years ago. He has 25 more caps than Frank Bunce.

[Darth Sader]

Thank god for our scrum. Didn’t Italy used to be good at this?

A player like Bunce in the midfield would be kinda handy.

[ACT Crusader]

Will Jordan just croc rolled

[Jailbreak7]

Why are Italy allowed to flop all over the ball and are always offside

[DaGrubster]

Roigard looks like he has just come off the set of Braveheart!

[Bones]

Could be the turning point that, Rieko rubbing every forward's head after the scrum pen. Thank fuck eh

More than 25. Bunce played a few for Samoa.

[frugby]

You know it is bad when even Roigard has been relatively poor.

You sure? Sounds very energetic.

[Machpants]

At least we're good at slowing it down for yellows

All of our midfielders have been complete shit for 4 years now.

We have a lot of experience playing under yellow
