Italy vs All Blacks 2021 NH Tour

Victor Meldrew

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

Doing the basics like not dropping the ball might help as well.

@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.

Also the NH refs could read the fucking law book and ref correctly.

Jailbreak7

@victor-meldrew Yes catch and pass

Lord was quietly accurate. How on earth did they leave Vaa’i on?

Victor Meldrew

No idea why we don’t chip the defensive line. It’s up, it’s flat with acres of space behind.

Because an AB would knock on and gift possession to Italy..?

I like De Groot, he is industrious.

Yeetyaah

Was that Vaa'i again?

Italy seem to have no requirement to be on their feet when going for turnovers.

Sam give the captaincy back to Sam.

stodders

@gt12 he's young. He'll learn. Especially when he doesn't get picked for a while.

Reece scores.

Tordah

Was that Vaa'i again?

5th penalty against him or so? Ref is pants, but so is Vaa'i this game

Nepia

Was that Vaa'i again?

Not sure he should be blamed for that one, he played to the ref ... the ref decided to follow the law on this occasion.

Christie is having a good game. Nice from Ofa.

mariner4life

Nice try. Reece very good sniffing around the ruck
