Of course they would...they do what NZR say!!
World Rugby has refuted reports that the All Blacks turned down the chance to play their final Rugby World Cup pool match against Italy on Monday.

:Brian Moore is such a gaping arsehole , his “ sources” ffs .
To be fair, he’s usually quite balanced. His sources lack credibility since the world rugby statement but I doubt he would have pulled this from his arse.
This smells like somebody (his source?) proposed it, NZ said not a fan and then works rugby said no that wouldn’t work anyway.
Pretty easy to create a biased slant either way from that.

Doesn't name sources. Has all the credibility of Baghdad Bob.
Comical Ali?
One and the same.

probably the same source that told Hamish McKay SBW was on his way home.

Disagree that he’s balanced and so would Adam Thomsen .
That’s a pretty big call to start spreading on social media when you don’t actually have any proof . You just know the fuckwits that accuse us of poaching and having an undue influence over wr are going to lap it up and will never believe he’s talking out of his arse .

:Not sure what Adam Thomson has to do with this ...
I’ve engaged with him on twitter and met him at a Wimbledon food festival last year. He’s alright ... for a lefty.
It was a while ago but still pretty bad that Gosper forgot who’s actually in charge of World rugby and listened to Moore

I’ve mentioned before what a petty small minded man when it comes to the abs and their various nemesis.

:I just had a notification from the RWC app. NZ versing Italy 0-0 draw. See stats, etc. Gee thanks.
Google just notified me similarly
I'm willing to bet that even Google wasn't illiterate enough to use the term 'versing'. Unless the All Blacks were composing poetry about the Italians.
-
I think it’s funny that someone out there made this about Nz and as usual, sections of social media have run with it.

:Brian Moore still raging on twitter about it despite WR saying his claims are untrue.
It's funny that England had a game they might lose, their coach was openly happy with the cancellation, and yet it's us with the guaranteed win that gets the fury of the fuckwits.

Not really. Despite all talks of form, other teams, cancellations etc, all fans here are still talking bout us as the team to beat.
Loser of England - France goes on other side of draw to us. England had zero fear of losing that match.
