Italy v All Blacks

As I've been telling some of you all week, Italy are a decent side.

That's the team Argentina put 50 on two weeks ago? The one Samoa beat?

The reality is we're playing poorly, especially the reticence to go forward with good cleans.

Bit obvious

[sparky]

More than a few All Blacks looking like they are mentally on the beach already.

[Jailbreak7]

So frustrating. Offside Italy and they are still awarded a penalty

[Mattasaurus]

we're adjusting to the interpretations so well....

Every eyetie offside behind the ref"s back every breakdown. Are we trialling a return to no ARs?

Yeah they are flooding the rucks, which is working, but illegally ask the time

[Mr Fish]

Italy have been pretty awful every time they've had the ball. NZ just haven't been very good either.

[KiwiMurph]

Another huge Beauden kick for touch.....

Yep , flooding rucks, WAY offside behind whichever way the ref is facing, means we've only got one way to go, and under pressure.... pretty easy to defend against.

Italy doing a good job of disrupting our play but I suspect penalties will get them in the end

[Mattasaurus]

would be nice to see BB actually run on to the ball and not just shovel flat ball constantly.....
Instead of cross and box kicks a traditional grubber in behind will find plenty of space

He is a hand brake.

He’d make the Warriors with a touch finder like that….

Pick and go negating the offsides

TMO call v SB

[Bones]

Some structure would be nice, but we've got fucking BB at 10.

[booboo]

Neck roll in that replay

[Victor Meldrew]

Some nice touches by Sititi protecting the ruck ball.

Caleb Clarke playing well

[Bones]

Penalty at best.
