All Blacks v Italy

[No Quarter]

So far a combination of us looking pretty good and Italy kicking away any and all possesion they've had. Pat T crashes over & it's 21-3 after 20 mins. Could get ugly.

Impressed with S Barrett so far.

[Kruse]

21-3... it's weird watching the score increment by 7s, rather than 5s

[No Quarter]

ALB brilliant and very nice finish from Dagg who seems to have recaptured his pace this season. Great try.

[Stargazer]

Great try from Dagg; also converted 28-3

[gt12]

I officially love ALB.

And I didn't think he should start for the Chiefs. Ha.

[Stargazer]

Crockett with the try: 35-5. It's almost HT.

[Stargazer]

It's hard to judge players' performance when the opponent is so weak.
Have been looking at the newbies in particular, and Barrett has been really good; Dmac is yet to convince me. Some good catches and bad passes.

[Tordah]

Italy are rubbish in everything. Good refereeing so far, enjoyable to watch. Like the scrums,Italy going backwards

Live stream anyone?

[dK]

@kiwiinmelb listening to the rugby. A trip down memory lane. All the streams are asking for my credit card so not keen

[Stargazer]

Good to see Cruden score all conversions, although I must admit that all were from very easy to easy angles.

[No Quarter]

ABs 35-3 at the break and restoring some semblance of normality into the world...

[Stargazer]

Try Luatua, but that was all thanks to Taylor. Man, that was good!

[No Quarter]

Love the way Owens played advantage there, a lot of other refs would have blown it up.

Great try, the chips to the wing from Cruds have worked well, keeping Italy guessing.

[gt12]

Seriously, WTF is up with Naholo?

I've rarely seen anything from him except mistakes. He occasionally makes breaks, but he's not even as good as Sivi and we moved past him years ago.

[Stargazer]

Ioane has replaced Dagg. Dagg was way better than Dmac and Naholo, but I guess with this score they just want to test the newbies as much as possible.

[No Quarter]

Crockett takes a leaf out of ALBs book and puts Fekitoa away. Lovely stuff.

[Stargazer]

Fekitoa in again after some great work from Crockett.

Sopoaga & Todd coming on; Tuipulotu and Cruden going off.

[Kruse]

Dagg off, Cruden off... the 15 on the field right now has got to be one of the least-experienced ever?

[Stargazer]

ALB is having a really good game, so is Crockett.
