Italy vs All Blacks

[sparky]

@nightmarehitter

I certainly agree that Sport and Party Politics shouldn't mix. Generally I loathe PC virtue signalling too.

Last week's attack on Gareth Thomas makes it different though. Gareth has been a great friend to New Zealand Rugby and is a personal friend of some of the All Blacks coaches and players. A Rugby legend who is attacked and abused in the street deserves the support of one of the world's most famous Rugby teams.

I am glad that Gareth isn't badly hurt. Hopefully the kid who attacked him will learn from the incident, do a bit research about Gareth and what a hard bastard and a fantastic player he was on the Rugby field.

Did I just read that homosexuality should stay out of sports?

Damp and drizzling

Is this the first time Read is leading the haka?

Nice of Tuipulotu to get his knock on out of the way early...

Welcome back Dane Coles

Scrum looks good, TJP scores after Coles exploits the blindside and Italy sucks. Both AB locks with dropsies so far

Shot at 3 for the Eyeties ... good

5-3

Owen Farrell kicking for Italy...

[Stargazer]

Ref injured? If he can't continue, I hope it's not the French AR taking over.

[Stargazer]

Too easy. Pat T did the work, Dmac finishes.

[sparky]

Italy are disappointing. I would have preferred a game against Wales or Scotland.

[booboo]

DMac under the bar off PaddyT. Nice offload the skipper.

Eyetie tele crew obviously not uawd to rugby. Cameras not keeping up.

Have these cameramen ever done a rugby coverage before? The angles are rubbish.

[booboo]

Shame that went out...

[booboo]

Eyeties injured lots ...

Nice artistic shot of the wave though
