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

[Jer1cho]

Italy are beyond shocking. Abs are having a Sunday picnic.

Italy targeted the France and Uruguay games

 

[Jer1cho]

58 points down then D Mac comes on. Ouch

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Oh great. DMac versus the Italian defence.

 

[Gavin]

I know it wouldn't have any impact on the game but in that last lineout before Cole's try, the two lifters obstructed the catcher in the maul.

It seems this law isn't policed well

 

[87Dreamer]

Walked into the smoko room with the game playing on my phone, couple boys asked the score, said it was 28-3. They asked "To us?"
Before Foster came, this would never have been a question in NZ.
That's how the AB's have fallen

 

[Jer1cho]

How can Italy have such a bad set piece. They have totally given up now.

Two more games and you can start enjoying rugby again.
Two more decades and I'm not sure Italian fans will.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We want a ton, we want a ton

 

[West Country Wail]

Dismal by Italy, all that confidence drains away

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

No yellow for Italy. Presumably didn't look Fijian enough.

 

[MarcusLawrence]

87-10?!. I thought Italy would have some fight here. It's like watching New Zealand play a tier 3 side.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

That's beautiful. If unopposed.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We want 200, we want 200

 

[Jer1cho]

Italy should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Welp. Did not expect this to be the 100 pointer.

Bad day for Italy. NZ officially scare the **** out of me again.

 

[Dutchgeo88]

Italy beats them comfortably though.

They dont do they, Georgia beat them 28-19 last year! Put a Georgian club team in the URC and give Georgia more matches against t1 teams and lets see again!

 

[Bluemoon]

We want a ton, we want a ton

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Media: This is Italy's chance to upset the ABs

The ABs:

 

[IT157]

So embarrassing.

New Zealand to win very comfortably.

Well I thought it would be comfortable. Didn't think it would be quite this comfortable!
