playing this Australia side 3 times a year has done NZ no good...
NZR extending Foster's contract last year after beating these guys, Fiji, & Tonga C.
There's a fucking Foster thread where you can do your shithouse tinfoil hat moaning, maybe you and @Steve could fuck off there instead of spamming every thread.

Ha ha. The Dave Rennie legend lives on. Honestly he is not a great coach.

His record is piss poor, I’m surprised he hasn’t been replaced by now. I know injuries haven’t helped but they are just so damn inconsistent.
Well played Italy.

Because replacing the last 5 coaches had definitely helped...

Their discipline was shocking.
Their discipline under Rennie is horrendous.
Almost reminds you of Chiefs under Rennie.

His selections have been horrible. He took Italy way too lightly and paid the price. Piss poor.

Forza Italia. What a wonderful result!
I will say again, see you get a coach from Kaponga and you always going to improve!!! And see what his brother also did for Wellington.
But in truth I really liked what I heard from Crowley, in saying he thought one of main things was for Italy to forge an identity how they were going to play. I not all that surprised with result, Italy looked very unItaly like against Samoa last week, didn't just sneak in a win like we hace come to expect, but made it real solid.

He also needed to give players game time at test level in European conditions before RWC2023.
I'll take a loss to Italy if it helps win our pool. We need to accept the Wallabies aren't a tier 1 side because Australian Rugby isn't a tier 1 nation.
The discipline is the concerning bit

I should add: because our injury toll shows we might need everyone we can get

It's good for world rugby that Italy are improved.
They now have an attacking game that can cause trouble.
But kick them out of the 6N
