Italy vs All Blacks 2021 NH Tour

[Jailbreak7]

But we always have trouble playing against Italy - they are the new Ireland

[nostrildamus]

DMac had to slow down to pass to Bridge.

Ireland and France will be licking their lips watching this.

The only consolation is if we're going to play shit for one game, at least it's against Italy.

[JC]

Ref got that one wrong.

[mariner4life]

This is the culmination of the depowering of NZ rugby as workmate and pretty feet win domestic comps

There isn't a player on the field who can beat a man physically

[gt12]

With Dmac at first receiver, we look different.

Oh no we don’t.

[Yeetyaah]

Italian player wasn't even on the fucking ball

[sparky]

Still shithouse.

[JC]

Get Frizzel off my fucking TV.

The Ref has been poor - missed a lot of stuff.

[gt12]

That’s a fucking terrible call but keep your mouth shut.

[sparky]

Italy 9 ABs 21.

[Tordah]

Ridiculous penalty (around 56:00 min), Italian player lying horizontally over the AB player and claiming the turnover. What a shit ref, equally as shit as both teams playing

[Yeetyaah]

It's always the English refs eh

[Jailbreak7]

@yeetyaah Did a deal with the French ref last week

[mariner4life]

This ref is off his head

But

We're shit. We don't know how to beat them. Italy.

Mounga is fucking rubbish by the way. He, DMac and Barrett are so fucking ordinary. We lack physical specimens in the back line.

We need a better plan to use these limited players

[nostrildamus]

Lord nice take!

[stodders]

@yeetyaah breakdown is reffed differently up north. Funnily enough, it is more of a free for all than in the SH. ABs need to adapt to that.

We’re missing physical beasts around them. There are too many fucking cooks and not enough soldiers. Adding Havili here won’t help.

Edit: actually it will, as he will likely catch the ball
