All Blacks v Italy
-
Very disappointed this is not televised in Australia. Must be loads of kiwis in OZ. Looks like we get the other games. I assume the Italians are wanting too much?

Im not sure how it works exactly ,
4 games , 2 televised , has anyone actually explained why 2 are and the other 2 aren't ? Is it different TV rights.

Different rights holders - yes. Each union sells their rights individually, some might sell their whole home series as a package, some might do it ala carte.
This is exactly what happened on the 2009 EOYT where the Italian fixture wasn't even screened in Aus either.

So the two that aren't shown ,
Is that because they cant secure the rights or because they figure the price is too high ?

yeah cos it's not a friendly this week...

Right, time for that All Black pack to start building up to be an angry, effective, and aggressive bunch of mofos on kickoff.
Between it being the year of the sporting upset, and their much better (on paper) counterparts phoning it in last week against Ireland, this All Black 8 need to front up.
Preferably before the start of the second half.

@Donsteppa was having a look at odds today.
Paddy power giving Italy a 40 point start and for a NZ win it is 1/500 while an Italian win is 16/1
TAB has ABs $1.01 and Italy $15
-
This game needs to result in the AB's giving the Italians the most brutal of hidings, otherwise the Irish will be even further boosted for Dublin.
The Maori AB's playing like a bunch of dumb fuck headless chooks against Munster did not help our cause one bit.
-
A series of rubbish results - Canterbury beating Ta$man; Ireland beating the ABs; Scotland drawing with the Kiwis; Munster creaming the Maori.
WTF - I thought we were supposed to be invincible!
There better be retribution dealt hard and long on the Italians!
