Bad exit, poor discipline and guess the result.

The Foster special.

Has he swapped placed with BB?

Is the tactic bro, not the execution. And if it is the execution, then foster needs to drop Barrett, cos it is every game

Players have to take some responsibility on basic stuff like not kicking into touch on restarts.

Yes so drop him, he does multiple times every game. But it's tactics, kicking in that singer that is not long and not contestable

Good to see that, whatever the merits of our game plan in the backs, the Italians remain our cannon fodder.

[Machpants]

Great try, too easy

[Mattasaurus]

wow...... and a nice touch from BB....

Was criticizing them not exiting properly to begin with...

This is the same All Blacks team that’s lost twice to Argentina, coming up against the most talented Italian squad ever assembled.

If we are to ever lost to Italy, this would be the time. Crowley will have the Italians dialled right in for this.

I’ve actually watched the Italians play this WC and we are not losing to them. Anyone can freely quote this post back at me should we lose. 4TBP with room to spare (provided no idiotic red cards)

I think I’m safe here. Even if I’m tempting fate.

[chimoaus]

Telea has some balance, almost Cullen like.

[kiwiinmelb]

Some nice play combined with some poor defence

[mariner4life]

Nice angle that

[sparky]

Mounga with the kick. 21-3 after 19 minutes.

[Victor Meldrew]

Some good vision there from BB.

Thought Telea had fucked up cutting inside, but he was bang-on

[booboo]

Laser Kiwi in the crowd

[Jailbreak7]

Disturbed by the Italians in front of us cheering for the ABs...

His place kicking has been excellent.

[sparky]

Penalty to the ABs.

Good intensity so far.

[stodders]

AB breakdown jackaling has been impressive thus far

[taniwharugby]

Much better exit and.chase

[sparky]

ABs hungry for that bonus point.

[Stargazer]

Taylor has already won us a few turnovers. He's going well.

[Mattasaurus]

Good urgency from Paps with that tackle.....
