@Derm-McCrum you worried your likely QF opponent is doing it as well as your boys?

I know NZ haven't played for a couple of months apparently, but I really didn't expect Italy to be this atrocious. So much for all the chatter.

[Billy Tell]

Hopefully one of the ABs will be kind enough to buy capuzzo a beer. No serving guys looking under age and all that.

Through the hands lads.

[booboo]

Unnecessary kick.

Ball in hand scores

[taniwharugby]

Wtf option was that, even with adv

[Machpants]

Mo'unga FFS, ball in hand dick head

[mariner4life]

Hands!!!! Hands you stupid fuck!!!

Difference tonight has been set piece, we have won everything bar one scrum free kick.

Back to where we were against the Boks in July. Upvote to the forwards and their coaching team.

[Steven Harris]

Would like to have seen a scrum put down

[sparky]

Ardie scores try number 7.

[Stargazer]

If the ABs play like this in the second half when the subs are on, they'll turn the Italians into spaghetti!

[stodders]

@Derm-McCrum they’ve had no ball to play with. Fair dues to the NZ forwards for that. And any they have had has been turned over with some aggressive defence

[taniwharugby]

I'd just like them to play some systems in the 2nd, control the game and themselves now...
And no injuries

[booboo]

AB 49 Italy 3. 7 out of 7 kicks for Richie Mo’unga.

[chimoaus]

So Ireland beat Italy 34-20 this year, does that make us favourites 🥸

[sparky]

Horror show from Italy.

Yeah - NZ have been clinical - no question. Italy have still been dog poop.

[taniwharugby]

@booboo in a way, it would be good to kick plenty of ball to them forcing us to defend and maintain discipline

[Mattasaurus]

Frizzel and JB have made consistent yards, good decisions - both make a considerable difference (opposition aside)

[pooler fan]

NZ have been ultra clinical in the 1st half there, very impressive.
