[RWC2023] New Zealand vs Italy (29/09/2023)

[Which Tyler]

He's not wrong.
NZ categorically are 4th in the world rankings. Before Foster took over, 4th was also their lowest ever ranking.

He's said "some teams have" not "Italy have"

Yeah I don't think New Zealand will be too bothered/motivated by that. It's not like he called them soft or frauds or anything.

 

[IT157]

Italy to win by 3, New Zealand to go out at the pool stage

If that happens it would make it the best World Cup ever.

 

[duncanb]

Fancy NZ by 15 as bench will be stronger.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Would love for Italy to win this but unfortunately don't think they really stand a chance. I reckon they stay in the game for the first half (although still go into halftime trailing by 10+) before the floodgates start to open after the 55 minute mark.

NZ to put 40+ points on the board.
Italy to score around 15.

True.

But not the best timing to say that comment imo.

Dov'è la vittoria
Le porga la chioma
Ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò

Forza ragazzi

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Forza Italiaaaaa

 

[Ferrari333SP]

These Italian players looked totally psyched for this

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Really liked how both sides wanted to start the game by actually playing and not just going for space immediately

 

[ntun82]

Varney, please

 

[TommiG88]

Shame we have Carley

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The kick and the finish - superb

 

[ntun82]

We have lasted six minutes

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Shame we have Carley

Smith is going to pass the ball straight into him if he doesn't sort his position at the ruck out, the stupid prick

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

To the dumb ass crowd: even if the corner flag counted as in touch that would still have been a try
