Given I was dreading another 100 point drubbing, it's not been too bad :mrgreen:

I was waiting for the other commentator to say that that is the story of his game in the last five years

Garbisino's terrible game against Georgia is rewarded with a game against the All Blacks.

Flappy has brought a lot more pace and purpose to the ruck distribution.

That was a lovely cover tackle.

The improvement in Italy's play in just the last three years in something else.

Just back, how the hell have the ABs not scored in the last 30 minutes, seriously is Italy doing the business on defense here or what?

Italy have been magnificent on defence and at the breakdown.

Strange that the commentary isn't complaining about players going down with cramp this time

This is the story of the last few years of NZ. Just fucking awful kicking. Aimless and achieving nothing.

Marin is coming on, this is a bad sign for the All Blacks, his win record for Italy is insane

Is it a coincidence that that is the period during which BB and DMac have been our first fives?

They’re knackered now but by christ they’ve been fantastic for the whole match. And they absolutely deserve that.

BB puts a nothing kick but scores from a poor Italy clearance

Terrible brain fart; understandable, but not the mark of a clued in International player; just a little too impulsive

Well that was a fucking painful watch.

Huge credit to Italy for fighting so hard, and making us look so poor for most of the game.

But even when we had good quick ball, our attack looked anything but structured and effective.

Just bloody terrible. Razor's got some serious explaining to do after that shocker.

Congrats Razor and co. You have coached all of the flair out of this side.

Vabbe, meglio vincere male contro la Georgia e poi strafare conto gli All Blacks che strafare contro la Georgia per poi perdere malamente!

Comunque mediano di mischia è una grossa problema per noi. Page-Relo è forse il meglio che abbiamo ma non ha convinto del tutto

Enjoyed that. No such thing as an easy game vs Italy anymore. They may have to wait a while to tick the ABs off their scalp list, so we’re surely next now…

Italy waited till late to create a try but man, their defense was something to behold!! We could not break free of it at any point
