Italy v All Blacks

[kev]

Whatever the reason, way too much ball is being dropped at centre. Ugly. Waste of possession. All year. Nothing done to correct it. A big work on for next year.

Longest half ever

This game will really convert the locals to rugby.....

Reminds me a bit of the Italy test in Milan in 2009.

Except the scrums went the other way around and Crockett got raped

After last week, this was a bit of a statement test. Unfortunately they’ve made the wrong statement.

There is no finesse at 12 or 13.

Even the commentary online is jaded: "Vaa'i is hoisted, and fittingly spills the restart."

Scotty, a tip. We’ve kicked every single time we e had broken play. And it’s all sucked shit.

That was thankfully the end of Stuart Dickinson's refereeing career he was so abjectly useless.

@Jet I'm excited at thought of a Proctor/Higgins midfield for the Hurricanes in 2025 and maybe for the ABs too?

An accurate statement.

If this doesn’t scream I should’ve played the players that haven’t had minutes on this tour I don’t know what is.

@MajorRage Sititi and the front row boys have been great.

[Bones]

I'm being gaslit

I agree....and they could have kept the big guns on the bench in case it went to rat shit.
