    Cautionary tail though …playing dirt trackers against the Scotland’s Japans and Italy’s of this world. They have proper defensive systems now. We exported so much IP over the last decade or so for filthy lucre .

    I fear for the NZ midfield this week.

      It's good for world rugby that Italy are improved.

      They now have an attacking game that can cause trouble.

        There's a fucking Foster thread where you can do your shithouse tinfoil hat moaning, maybe you and @Steve could fuck off there instead of spamming every thread.

                His record is piss poor, I’m surprised he hasn’t been replaced by now. I know injuries haven’t helped but they are just so damn inconsistent.

                Well played Italy.

                    Almost reminds you of Chiefs under Rennie.

                        I will say again, see you get a coach from Kaponga and you always going to improve!!! And see what his brother also did for Wellington.

                        But in truth I really liked what I heard from Crowley, in saying he thought one of main things was for Italy to forge an identity how they were going to play. I not all that surprised with result, Italy looked very unItaly like against Samoa last week, didn't just sneak in a win like we hace come to expect, but made it real solid.

                          WTF. Bad result for NZ as we need a stronger Aust. Hope the team can sort themselves out and win at least one of their next 2 games

                            He also needed to give players game time at test level in European conditions before RWC2023.

                            I'll take a loss to Italy if it helps win our pool. We need to accept the Wallabies aren't a tier 1 side because Australian Rugby isn't a tier 1 nation.

                            The discipline is the concerning bit

                                        Honestly fuck Andrew Brace - for the first Italian try right on the sideline he's thumbs up despite bodies in the way. For the first Wallabies try he's suddenly unsure. 🙄
