@HITLER-ISA-BBC-SLUT Scotland have never beaten the ABs but ran them really close a few times.....Your comment and name tell me you find it hard to be happy? Stay safe fella 🙏
Yeah that about sums it up from a Scotland perspective. You set a very low bar in terms of playing style and skill. That's why you'll never beat the ABs with such a dour outlook. Shame once where warriors and had a proud rugby tradition but those days are long gone. R.I.P Oh Flower of Scotland..
@@drisszyani3497 Italy done well today....Italy have a shit pool of players to pick from and are the whipping boys of the 6 nations. ABs,SA,ENG and the rest of the top tier have the pick of the bunch and the finance to back it up. As a Scotland fan it was great to see the Italians taking it to the best in the world
This is the best thing the team behind the all blacks have done in ages. Couldn't watch it last night but highlights online for me to watch (free) by the time I wake up. Brilliant stuff!
Scrappy win, and respects to the Italians for conceding less points than the Six Nation champion. We've got a lot to reflect on before the match against Ireland.
Italians actually surprised me today but one can’t help feel AB mistakes contributed also to the score line…..it could’ve blown out more but glad it didn’t …..the Azzuri’s played with a lot of heart today and did themselves proud…..some bright young talent in that team as well…..so their future looks promising 💯🔥❤️Ab will learn from their mistakes and give the French and Irish a good run for their money but it will be two very diff teams as well as games……..💯🔥
After every bad performance..they say that they take lessons from the last week and the next week..we see the same errors...so stop with this clown Foster.
Kiwi here, 2 things that pissed me off with this game, the 1st thing was the ref was shocking, dishing out 25+ penalties , never cautioned either captain on penalty count, & his rulings were debatable ,if not confusing, he can stick the whistle up his a,,ss 2nd , if this was the opportunity for any of the AB players to step up , then they didn't do themselves any favours, too much drop ball, no direction, no real plan, just run ,pass & hope, the score wasn't a true reflection on the ABs performance, but i guess we can't be perfect all day every day,
It was a typical second string performance. Not surprising. Coles showed he's still got it and Christie did well. We are going to need another top end halfback soon and maybe Christie has the goods. Time will tell.
@@jaredrussell4392 That's not what I saw. I saw a great linking half with an eye for the gap who took several highball in close contact. There was nothing wrong with his passing what game were you watching?
Mc Kenzie having an off game, slowed everything down at the start with multiple mistakes and getting caught by himself with the ball. Italy played well defensively but need more attacking sets and too many mistakes.
His loop backs have become predictable and teams can send a roving defender where he might arc back around and pick him off when he turns his back on the opposition. Paid dividends today a few times.
Amazing refereeing, made it exciting! When the whistle blew, I had absolutely no idea what the call was going to be. It was like watching the lotto for 80 minutes…amazing😂!
@@drisszyani3497 1 bad game. Keep your ugly opinion to yourself. Worry about the steroid use in your school and professional rugby and also losing to Australia 2 weeks in a row 🤣
@@pastorofmuppets8834 actually after watching it again I can't tell whether it went forward into Mackenzie or not. Ref was way to premature with the whistle blow. Hate to knock refs but some of his interpretation had me scratching my head. At least he was consistent
Viva l'Italia! Well done Italy from a kiwi with Italian blood. The bloods too thick as I found myself cheering for the Italian brothers even though I'm an AB supporter. Salute
The ref had a job and he failed at it miserably. Keep the defensive teams back the required distance. The Italians for most part of the game were living in his back pocket. Very hard to gain the advantage line in attack this in my opinion was a major factor how the Italians managed to keep it close.
NH refs will not do anything- Why? because without the use of the mostly offside rush defense NH teams don't have a chance against the backlines of the Southern hemisphere. You'll see it at RWC23 TOO
Any other ref other than French and Aussie ones would be called offside against italy alot in the game because they were constantly offside and not getting pinged which is another example of why French ref shouldn't be allowed to ref permanently.
A very poor game by the Abs by there standards but they still won by 40, shows a few players will not feature again on this tour, Ennor had a horrible game so I expect him to fly home early, Dmac wasn't much better either and just think he trys to do everything on his own too much, runs to lateral & gets caught out then is turned over in tackle, so there should be no doubt now that Jordie is our best option at fullback thought Coles was awesome though on his first start in a long time his accurate lineout throwing his running game & his core duties is still up there with the best & shows how vital he is to the Abs, expect to see our top side come next week against Ireland...
Agree with you mate. The AB's were not at their best, but let's face it, they are still tops, even on a bad day. The only team right now in world rugby that can be a match are the Springboks, but only if they ae not having an off day... 😊😊
If Jordie is the AB's potential saviour then God help the All Barrets. The Barret cancer is spreading right through this AllBarrets team - Beauden is now officially the worst flyhalf in International rugby
@@fariedmanuel how many games have SA won in the last 10 against the all blacks? Ill save you the time its 2. and those 2 were 2 point wins. SA are second place and its not close, they are trash.
Fozzy making too many changes as per usual! They need to build combos and confidence for the world cup. They need tests caps to build experience for the world cup. Fozzy has used about 3 different teams and 5 different captains in the past year. Player position switches every game and he's just lucky the talent in NZ atm is exceptional.

@@Billcali That's just your opinion, mine is yes they do. Players need experience, that's how we build depth. Anyone can have a bad day at the office and it only takes one good day for the public to forget. Did you notice the score though, look at you winging like a bitch... and then have a look at the score again.
@@mark130471 Na!! Gone are the days when a winning AB's side don't make any changes to the lineup. Far too many player position swaps and we saw that in the game against Italy.Need to give guys consistent game time. How many different No 8s, wings, centres, locks and front row changes do you need..YES build experience but not with 3 different teams. ie Hoskins has hardly had a run and looks rusty when starts. I guarantee the AB's will not win the world cup under Fozzy and his inconsistencies, so save these comments and come back after the world cup and admit you were wrong lol
ABz fans and the players/staff hold this team to such high standards. Most teams would be happy with a win with that score line. The accuracy of this performance is what the ABz would be disappointed about the most. Love the heart and passion the Azurri played with 👍🏽
Bit scruffy here and their for All Black's standard. DMac, among some others, showing a wee bit of International game-time lack. But a comfortable win nevertheless once they got firing on three! Good food for thought for Fossie and Co as well.
DMac seemed to be running around in circles trying to find someone in a position to take his pass, maybe there were too many on there today who were looking to do it all themselves unlike last week when they played as a team.
mckenzie tries too often to be the hero. for example at 5:00 any good fullback would’ve passed there instead of trying to step someone that deep in your own half. And he’s too small and it results in a turnover. Jordie is miles ahead now
😂😂watch it back and edit your comment like no one is even close sevu Reece or mounga in running back but they don’t make it I time before the Italy winger tackles McKenzie don’t be a weenie
I feel like it was just meh, it’s just Italy. A lot of ‘meh’ mistakes. I know it’s the all blacks but still idk where to put this game it was strange to watch
The score did not reflect this game. Was anything but a walk in the park. Credit to Italy for putting the pressure on. All these years in the 6 nations and they still have performances like this? If like to see a Georgia take their place
@@cameronwebb7964 Yeah I get that became apparent as the game went on but in the initial 10 minutes Italy's defence disrupted the ABs enough to upset their game as the ABs made a comedy of errors from that point on.
A mistake-ridden game by the ABs. Even though this is the second-string team, there were still too many mistakes and a lot of uncertainty. I'm sure that Ireland next week will give them a really good game.
@@noclue6554 there is no such thing as A B and D teams anymore. You have your full team - you pick the best players for the strategy you are gonna use against the opposition. Stop with this schoolboy ABC stuff please!!
@@noclue6554 : And your A team lost against Ireland. So much for that assessment. Oh and by the way Ireland didn't have their full A team against Japan either. Lots of their top liners were sitting on the bench.
Been watching the ABs for many, many years. This seemed to follow the pattern: wear the bastards out for 60 mins, stick it to them for the last 20. Sure we made a lot of unforced errors, but a whole bunch of new guys got blooded and we won handsomely in the end. What's all the fuss about man?
I think a lot of people forget the ABs fielded almost an entirely new team to give the ‘seconds’ some game time…. Not a great game, yes… but imagine if the A team played. It was a good game to shake the cobwebs
@@penepatitenor : Well after that game they were succeeded by South Africa in the world rankings. Don't get me wrong, the AB's are the benchmark team and have been for a very long time, but it's also fair to say that rugby itself is better served when teams like the All Blacks have to fight for wins too, just like everyone else. The days when teams measured their success, or failure, by how many points they lost against New Zealand are over. There's no fun or entertainment when the AB's go out and best some team by 50 or 60 points, yes it might massage their ego but wouldn't you rather see a game like Ireland vs New Zealand where you don't know who's going to come out on top? Otherwise it's just a demonstration game and who wants to see that?
@@celticlofts I absolutely agree with you. I think the ABs are indeed the benchmark and you’re also right, these are the better games where they’re pushed to a limit. It’s just interesting that the ABs are scrutinised so much for every little thing but I guess that’s the downside of being the best. And, sometimes it’s just an off day at the office but people see it as their team was shit. But remember, Ireland were thrashed at the World Cup by the ABs and, every time the Irish have won against the ABs it’s usually by a small margin. Again, I frikken love the Irish team. But I don’t think the ABs met their match, I just think they had a crap day at the office and botched up - not to take away from the excellent playing of the Irish. But it goes to show the level of playing between the teams…. A bad day for NZ is a great day for the rest of the rugby world. But this is good for the ABs and you’re right, it’s good for the rugby community as well.
I always love nz Commentators they just say what's happening on the pitch ! Not like the UK and Irish TV. that talk like they are on the Studio panel at half time.. thanks for your upload Ireland 🇮🇪 going to win next week 👍
Good luck on the Ireland thing,, ABs know they stuffed up,,and they will be rather pissed at this, performance,,the worse thing,,is being the next team,,after the, ABs lose,,or had a bad day out,, The ABs,never play,2 bad Games in a row,,
Also I think it's a pretty stupid thing that you can wrap arms around both sides of the tackled opponent, and thus blocking that person to actually release the ball. That's not a jackal, that's just lazy and obstructing play.
They got away with that the whole night.....not to downgrade their performance. You get away with what you can! The ref, AB's too, was just shite. It's usually rookie refs, those 18 year olds officiating 3rd XV high school games, who end just about every stoppage with a penalty! Not good enough for an international referee.
Bruh 40+ points and still getting backlash by the media and commentators 😂 they played well under pressure and had a few mistakes, what team doesn’t make a few mistakes in a game
Yeah it’s crazy, All Blacks are human beings like they are not super humans that some people think 💭 they are, Every ABs critics out there need to back off.
Just spotted the Sevu Reece try at 62 mins ish should have been disallowed - the AB's 9 had his hands on the ball before Tu'ungafasi picked the ball up from in front of him! Overall performance-wise it was clumsy and sub par for NZ, 40+ still looks good on paper but was expecting more like a cricket score. Full credit to the Azzurri for a hearty performance - and robbed of a try at the beginning! Will need to improve for the Ireland match!
I have not yet seen any all black performances this year that suggests they are benefiting from Ian fosters guidance it's been untidy and scrappy and have often looked as though they are confused as to how to approach situations and in my opinion are only winning games based on absolute individual talent and the player pool he has is only a dream for other coaches.
Yes. The. Ref. Is. Learning. Don't. Worry. Cus Italy. Is. Very. Good. Defence at. First. Half God bless. All Blacks and. Everyone. In. The. World watching. Cheers well. Done. Boys
57 mins in 21-9, well done Italy,respect, you made us look average, you stifled us, got under our skin and you kept coming at us. Also Italy should of got the first try. As for ABs we looked like a pack of clumsy bogans on the cans at a drift meet, lose the pathetic haircuts, show some respect to the opposition, if this was any of the top 5 nations you can put money on it we would of got rolled. To allow this attitude to go into the second half is ridiculous. McKenzie great player, had an average game,sub him off inject a new player in, too many drop balls etc, let the players know this is not good enough and that there is a bench mark! Create this so called competition amongst the players, but no it’s only Italy...disrespectful. So you are telling NZ and fans all over the world you trained hard all week with the mindset to give players a rest try new combinations etc and players put their hand up to be selected for this game, and that’s the best 15 available, and you dish out that performance...
Calm down Pete... there is no disrespect by the All Blacks to the Italians. We as fans expect alot and when we don't get the spectacle we cry foul. The All Blacks errors by seasoned players are just that. The Italians played well, defended well, but as always they lack where it matters... on the damn scoreboard. Stop comparing Apples with Zucchinis because that's how far away the Italians are in comparison to the damn All Blacks. Just be happy, that the All Blacks are human, make mistakes, and will be back to fight another day.
i think if italy can keep up that kind of speed in defence, they'll go a long way. the only thing they're lacking is their fitness. If they had fitness, easily become one of the tops. even be able to be up there with the abs
@@TheGennen the age profile and inexperienced of the front row is a factor in that. Fischetti is 23, Lucchessi is 21 and Riccioni is 23/4. Age and inexperience is a factor for most of the team. They have a 20yr old scrumhalf and 21yr old fly half. It'll take a while for those players to become experienced
ABs set a new record for test points scored in a season, but nobody cares cause they had a bad game but still put 40+ out there. The standards that the ABs are held to is pretty harsh sometimes..
At 49.59, the ref missed another high tackle that prevented Dan Coles from scoring and being held up. Should have been a penalty try and a yellow card to Italy number 11 for a chokehold.
Not bad for a 2nd team. AB 1st team are obviously the best team in the world but still surprised they didn't want a run out because the next two games will be against really tough opposition.
The bench is the issue of Italy, not the physicality. They do not have a bench and numbers of players per role at the level of other benches of the worlds top 8
A bit harsh mate? Italy have a shit pool of players and also playing the best in the world. Imo the Italians stayed in the game and played to there strength.
@@jayaustin8091 40 against Ireland in the Aviva? They are going to be up for this game and have evolved their attack and offload game. It will be close I said it’s an Aviva ambush Ireland by 10.
well done all blacks, the score would have been larger had the team played a few games together beforehand...being criticised by people who have never represented or served their country in anything.
I understand what your trying to say here, but you have absolutely no idea if any of these people have represented or served their country in anything, your only assuming they havent & if you were born a kiwi bought up in a culture playing & living rugby ,your actually understand what we say & why we say it , its our opinion ,, don't take it personally
Was this another case of ‘if we turn up, we will win?’ Good show Italy, we’ll done so far, Kieran Crowley. Looking forward to seeing how Italy goes in the 6 nations
A couple of the Italians really shined, likewise a couple of AB’s (Coles, Mounga, Bridges..), but the rest struggled to adapt to the fast defenses (both) scrappy play and multiple stoppages.
It's called mediocre rugby and in 'art of war' this is why England aren't playing NZ. Eddie Jones knows how to befriend his worst enemy at the right moment, with a smiling face.
@@joshhudson7413 no it doesn't, Will Jordan's performance in every game shows he deserves fullback. Jordie is a liability and males stupid mistakes sometimes.
This was a below par international match across the board, however in my opinion it was so due to the judiciary of the referee and his inability to officiate a match of this level. Good matches are built and played from a good platform of flow NOT a stop/ start unclear interpretation of rugby’s 101 laws. In this case the offside and breakdown law. Receiving the ball and defender simultaneously is a clear indication of offside and lying on a player without supporting your own body weight are clear infringements of these laws. 15 penalties within 20 minutes of play sees a game play out in the manner with which we saw and then media labelled as “scrappy” “disjointed” and “below par” NOT a good advertisement for the sport itself. Italy have passion, are big men with limited rugby nous and skill level. They played like so and to their credit they did disrupt an inexperienced, young ABs side. A couple of the experienced players in the ABs starting were well below their own capabilities and seemed inept to adapt to the onslaught of rushed defence and disruptive breakdown. Fast forward to the 60th minute where it’s well known that ANY team who plays the All Blacks this is the time and space where with the injection of bench (usually experienced) players where the game changes gear and it’s either be in front (significantly) or try to stay with them because the fitness, skill, experience and knowledge of the ABs will either chase you down or rack up the points tally and it’s the latter that happened here. Not a great test match however a record breaking achievement for the calendar year. Congrats boys Rest, recoup, regroup and reenergise for a battle of epic proportions with the very skilled and talented Ireland team. #passionsteAllBlacksfan #opinionsaremyown #AllBlacks4lyfe
The ref was terrible but he wasn't the only reason the game was so stop/start. Have the ABs even had any new game plans or structures since Foster took over? I swear all we do is throw it out the backline and hope we get some individual brilliance. Whenever teams defend pretty well the ABs look lost, like they just can't create any pressure. Granted, the ABs are always gonna run rampant against Italy but I'm still not sure we have improved AT ALL in any area in the last few years since we got embarassed at the world cup. Quick reminder that Fosters entire coaching experience can be summed up by "constantly last place" and that the only time he has ever been apart of successful teams was as an ASSISTANT. Whereas Razor has won everythinghe's touched. Foster is ruining the ABs.
The fundamentals of the game don’t change even though the laws constantly do so I agree in part and that is, you have to earn the right to go wide AFTER the up front battle has been won. The 2nd tier tight 5 did not do achieve this, with no front foot ball and a rush defence they fell into the hands of how Italy wanted to play therefore attributing to the stop/start The positive is the experience they would have gotten from it. Not sure why you think Foster isn’t a good coach, he’s was part of a World Cup winning coaching team in 2011, he’s lost 1 match (so far) this year against the World Cup Sth Africans, in this particular game (against Italy) he’s coached them to a world record breaking most test points and most tries scored in a calendar year. Scott “Razor” Robertson is indeed a good coach, however history has shown that coaching at Test level is a far cry from domestic, provincial or Super. Robbie Deans proved that fact. Embarrassed? Not in my opinion just outplayed by a better (England) team If anything it was the decisions made by then Head coach Steve Hansen that led to that outcome. #opinionsaremyown #passionateallblacksfan #AllBlacks4Lyfe
@@drainc4155 How did robbie deans prove that? The only international team he coached was Australia and it was arguably the best coached team Australia has ever had. I dont think they left the top 2-3 in the world when he was in charge. They fell apart as soon as he left and were terrible before he arrived. The only time they've even looked close to being consistently competitive with SA in the last 20 years was when Robbie deans was in charge. And thats AS A KIWI COACHING AN AUSTRALIAN TEAM. Here are the stats btw. Outside of the ABs Robbie deans Australia played 56 games, won 40, drew 2 and lost 14. Thats a win rate of like 75%. Say what you want about his record vs the ABs but name another period in the last 25 years where Aus have been that consistent. + their team was actual dogshit
I don't understand why we keep organizing friendlies against clearly superior teams like you. For the money of course, but for the sporting point of view there's no point. We should play more often against teams at our (poor) level. However, congratulations to the All Blacks!
ML. Ma dai. Il primo campo di rugby nella mia provincia l’ho visto 10 anni fa. Italy joined the 6 nations just as it went fully professional. In England the professional league top tier has 20 full time teams. Buenos Aires app 5 years ago had more rugby clubs than the whole of Italy. How many do you think NZ has. Un po’ di realismo. My pare che il Galles ha battuto NZ 1 volta.
Really looking forward to the end of the Foster & Cane era. I do wish them the best in the 3rd place playoff game at RWC 2023 though (if they can get that far)
If you’re 21-0 down why are you taking the 3 points? Surely you kick for the line there. If you’re going to lose, at least go down fighting instead of celebrating a penalty. Poor decision making from Italy
Questi si vantano tanto quando da loro conoscono solo il rugby. A calcio la loro nazionale sarebbe in grado di perdere col vecchio Cervia di Ciccio Graziani e a pallavolo prenderebbe schiaffi anche dalla squadra femminile del mio vecchio liceo..
Don't lose too much sleep on this game... Apart from Coles and Cane returning, and D Mac having a shocker, it was a 2.5-3rd string team playing Italy. Let that sink in...
For Gods sake AB's! find your best starting 15, stick with that side every game whether its an easier opponent and let them continually gell until the F'ing world cup!! this crap of changing the side to give players a run is ludicrous!!
cuttygrass They’ve already got a good idea of the combos. You can see it when the ABs play the better sides vs mediocre sides. They just want to give everyone a run which is actually reducing the sides true potential leading up to World Cup. Yes too much talent but this is the AB’s. you’re either in that talented 15 or you’re not. No free passes. Where you worried about the last World Cup?? You should of been cos they their asses handed to them by England in case you forgot.
All this rotation stuff does is ruin the all blacks, look at diamond McKenzie he couldn't find anyone to link up with, he couldn't determine which player was a forward and a back. It so shocking to do lollie scramble team's, 15 games a year and they will be lucky if they play 8 games together without half the team being changed. Richie mounga has no idea when he will play and who he will play beside, what a joke of a coach. Players need to learn about each other and know each others every move 18 consistent super rugby games with the same player's is so much better than rotation like a cow shed at milking
The ref fumbled it terribly. That should have been an Italian try in the beginning. Wouldn't have changed the outcome of the match, of course, the All Blacks were always going to win. But this shouldn't be happening at the international level. Could have been the highlight of his sporting career for the Italian should be try scorer.

In September, one of my all time favorites, Chiyonofuji, entered maezumo, while the other all time fav of mine (Harumafuji/Ama) became a yokozuna in an absolutely spectacular manner. It was September many many years ago, that I rekindled my interest in sumo, it was September a couple of years ago, that I got to visit Japan and got to watch the last two days of Aki basho right at the Kokugikan. And now it was September again, that the greatest sumo wrestler of all time announced his retirement. Man, towards the end of his career, I couldn't stand some of his antics (like his kachi-age + harite intro, or his tendency to dish out dame-oshi when he was angry, or his tendency to fall right on a shinpan), but at the same token, I know I won't see his like ever again in my life. It's hard to put in words what I felt when he retired. "End of an era" doesn't do it justice. I'm so grateful I was fortunate enough to have watched the GOAT in his prime, so grateful to have seen my all time favorite best the GOAT so many times in his prime (to my ecstatic roar), but at the same time I'm so sad, that it's over, and I won't see anything like it again.
Rubbish in that first half/50 minutes or so. Can't we meet physical defense with equally physical carrying anymore!? Italy's two, three man tackling was magnificent though! Perhaps we should just hold the fkn pill a bit more! DMac should be finished with the AB's now, just a funsy festival game player.
What's the point of Italy kicking penalties when they're behind on the score board & highly unlikely were ever going to win the match,just kicking practice for one player instead of trying to score a team try which would be 100 times more rewarding,no confidence 🇮🇹, you were playing a terrible team performance from the abs,you should have tried to take more advantage of it.Italy kicking penalties against the abs is never going to get you any where as we all know the abs score the bulk of their points in the last 20min with tries,they should have kept possession by kicking for touch close to abs line then line out drive,man up & have a go next time!

Italy played really good defence
They did! For about 50ish minutes... Typical abs armchair critics will not be pleased though
Yeah was great to see Italy stay in the game. Italy have had a tough time so nice to see them competitive
@p n All Blacks always play like you say Italy played
Kiwi here, 2 things that pissed me off with this game, the 1st thing was the ref was shocking, dishing out 25+ penalties , never cautioned either captain on penalty count, & his rulings were debatable ,if not confusing, he can stick the whistle up his a,,ss
2nd , if this was the opportunity for any of the AB players to step up , then they didn't do themselves any favours, too much drop ball, no direction, no real plan, just run ,pass & hope,
the score wasn't a true reflection on the ABs performance, but i guess we can't be perfect all day every day,
Tbh I thought Christie was outstanding
@@hellovanite I thought Christie was dreadful. So slow and literally just went left, right, left, right after every phase.
It was a typical second string performance. Not surprising. Coles showed he's still got it and Christie did well. We are going to need another top end halfback soon and maybe Christie has the goods. Time will tell.
@@jaredrussell4392 That's not what I saw. I saw a great linking half with an eye for the gap who took several highball in close contact. There was nothing wrong with his passing what game were you watching?
@@manic65cvn I thought he was one player who enhanced his rating
Mc Kenzie having an off game, slowed everything down at the start with multiple mistakes and getting caught by himself with the ball. Italy played well defensively but need more attacking sets and too many mistakes.
Sotutu van play for Fidji. .overrated.
Mckenzie can go To japan.
No support made him look average.
His loop backs have become predictable and teams can send a roving defender where he might arc back around and pick him off when he turns his back on the opposition. Paid dividends today a few times.
Amazing refereeing, made it exciting! When the whistle blew, I had absolutely no idea what the call was going to be. It was like watching the lotto for 80 minutes…amazing😂!
only the ABs can score 40 points, keep op try less and feel they've played terribly and get berated by their media haha

Looks like the Italian player knocked it forward into Mackenzie.
He simply did not want to allow it. "No, I don't want Italy to score the first try, and I'm the referee so I do what I want".
@@Helmut83 Ball clearly went forward into Mackenzie
@@Me-ex7qg I couldn't see it that way.
@@pastorofmuppets8834 actually after watching it again I can't tell whether it went forward into Mackenzie or not. Ref was way to premature with the whistle blow. Hate to knock refs but some of his interpretation had me scratching my head. At least he was consistent
Well done ITALY for keeping the no.1 team scoreless for 27mins … Unfortunately you knew what was coming.
Then all blacks scored 47 points in 53 minutes after that
Still a shocker by the Italians. They held up very well against the ABs. Awful display of basic handling errors by them

Yeah me to
As far ahead of everyone else as the all blacks are..its good to see other countries lifting their game and watching what style they are using.
The ref had a job and he failed at it miserably. Keep the defensive teams back the required distance. The Italians for most part of the game were living in his back pocket. Very hard to gain the advantage line in attack this in my opinion was a major factor how the Italians managed to keep it close.
NH refs will not do anything- Why? because without the use of the mostly offside rush defense NH teams don't have a chance against the backlines of the Southern hemisphere. You'll see it at RWC23 TOO
This is where Ardie's athleticism at the breakdown is missed. He could've opened opportunities up the middle for us with pick and go.
And yet he can still spot every time an AB has released but maybe not got back to his feet…
Any other ref other than French and Aussie ones would be called offside against italy alot in the game because they were constantly offside and not getting pinged which is another example of why French ref shouldn't be allowed to ref permanently.
Somewhat ironically, they copied this from the ABs who are consistently offside and never get pinged for it
The Italians were robbed from what should have been a first try.
Shocking refereeing.
Would’ve made a difference…. Italy would’ve won the game with that try………. 😮💨

A very poor game by the Abs by there standards but they still won by 40, shows a few players will not feature again on this tour, Ennor had a horrible game so I expect him to fly home early, Dmac wasn't much better either and just think he trys to do everything on his own too much, runs to lateral & gets caught out then is turned over in tackle, so there should be no doubt now that Jordie is our best option at fullback thought Coles was awesome though on his first start in a long time his accurate lineout throwing his running game & his core duties is still up there with the best & shows how vital he is to the Abs, expect to see our top side come next week against Ireland...
I said a year ago Ennor is not an AB
Agree with you mate. The AB's were not at their best, but let's face it, they are still tops, even on a bad day. The only team right now in world rugby that can be a match are the Springboks, but only if they ae not having an off day... 😊😊

cole and christie were the only stand outs from the abs in this game
ABz fans and the players/staff hold this team to such high standards. Most teams would be happy with a win with that score line. The accuracy of this performance is what the ABz would be disappointed about the most. Love the heart and passion the Azurri played with 👍🏽

Wow Italy! I wasn’t expecting this but hats off to them for putting up a solid fight
Bit scruffy here and their for All Black's standard. DMac, among some others, showing a wee bit of International game-time lack. But a comfortable win nevertheless once they got firing on three! Good food for thought for Fossie and Co as well.
Yeah, outside not being able to catch a ball, the ABs were actually pretty good, set piece was hugely dominant
DMac seemed to be running around in circles trying to find someone in a position to take his pass, maybe there were too many on there today who were looking to do it all themselves unlike last week when they played as a team.
mckenzie tries too often to be the hero. for example at 5:00 any good fullback would’ve passed there instead of trying to step someone that deep in your own half. And he’s too small and it results in a turnover. Jordie is miles ahead now

Been watching the ABs for many, many years. This seemed to follow the pattern: wear the bastards out for 60 mins, stick it to them for the last 20. Sure we made a lot of unforced errors, but a whole bunch of new guys got blooded and we won handsomely in the end. What's all the fuss about man?
Will you beat the likes of France or Ireland playing like that tho?
Great game by Italy thats a win for them just by the scoreline

@@celticlofts but still no1 in the world on the ranks… isn’t that some shit??
@@penepatitenor : Well after that game they were succeeded by South Africa in the world rankings. Don't get me wrong, the AB's are the benchmark team and have been for a very long time, but it's also fair to say that rugby itself is better served when teams like the All Blacks have to fight for wins too, just like everyone else. The days when teams measured their success, or failure, by how many points they lost against New Zealand are over. There's no fun or entertainment when the AB's go out and best some team by 50 or 60 points, yes it might massage their ego but wouldn't you rather see a game like Ireland vs New Zealand where you don't know who's going to come out on top? Otherwise it's just a demonstration game and who wants to see that?
@@celticlofts I absolutely agree with you. I think the ABs are indeed the benchmark and you’re also right, these are the better games where they’re pushed to a limit. It’s just interesting that the ABs are scrutinised so much for every little thing but I guess that’s the downside of being the best. And, sometimes it’s just an off day at the office but people see it as their team was shit. But remember, Ireland were thrashed at the World Cup by the ABs and, every time the Irish have won against the ABs it’s usually by a small margin. Again, I frikken love the Irish team. But I don’t think the ABs met their match, I just think they had a crap day at the office and botched up - not to take away from the excellent playing of the Irish. But it goes to show the level of playing between the teams…. A bad day for NZ is a great day for the rest of the rugby world. But this is good for the ABs and you’re right, it’s good for the rugby community as well.

Also I think it's a pretty stupid thing that you can wrap arms around both sides of the tackled opponent, and thus blocking that person to actually release the ball. That's not a jackal, that's just lazy and obstructing play.
They got away with that the whole night.....not to downgrade their performance. You get away with what you can!

Just spotted the Sevu Reece try at 62 mins ish should have been disallowed - the AB's 9 had his hands on the ball before Tu'ungafasi picked the ball up from in front of him! Overall performance-wise it was clumsy and sub par for NZ, 40+ still looks good on paper but was expecting more like a cricket score. Full credit to the Azzurri for a hearty performance - and robbed of a try at the beginning! Will need to improve for the Ireland match!
I have not yet seen any all black performances this year that suggests they are benefiting from Ian fosters guidance it's been untidy and scrappy and have often looked as though they are confused as to how to approach situations and in my opinion are only winning games based on absolute individual talent and the player pool he has is only a dream for other coaches.
Totally agree. We do not look like a well coached team. As you said it's really only individual talent winning us games.

To allow this attitude to go into the second half is ridiculous. McKenzie great player, had an average game,sub him off inject a new player in, too many drop balls etc, let the players know this is not good enough and that there is a bench mark! Create this so called competition amongst the players, but no it’s only Italy...disrespectful.
So you are telling NZ and fans all over the world you trained hard all week with the mindset to give players a rest try new combinations etc and players put their hand up to be selected for this game, and that’s the best 15 available, and you dish out that performance...
Calm down Pete... there is no disrespect by the All Blacks to the Italians. We as fans expect alot and when we don't get the spectacle we cry foul.
The All Blacks errors by seasoned players are just that. The Italians played well, defended well, but as always they lack where it matters... on the damn scoreboard.

@@TheGennen the age profile and inexperienced of the front row is a factor in that. Fischetti is 23, Lucchessi is 21 and Riccioni is 23/4. Age and inexperience is a factor for most of the team.

ABs set a new record for test points scored in a season, but nobody cares cause they had a bad game but still put 40+ out there. The standards that the ABs are held to is pretty harsh sometimes..
At 49.59, the ref missed another high tackle that prevented Dan Coles from scoring and being held up. Should have been a penalty try and a yellow card to Italy number 11 for a chokehold.
Exactly…

Not bad for a 2nd team. AB 1st team are obviously the best team in the world but still surprised they didn't want a run out because the next two games will be against really tough opposition.
Ref ruined Italy chance for the first try
When Italy realise the game is 80 min long their fortunes might change
The bench is the issue of Italy, not the physicality. They do not have a bench and numbers of players per role at the level of other benches of the worlds top 8
A bit harsh mate? Italy have a shit pool of players and also playing the best in the world. Imo the Italians stayed in the game and played to there strength.

This was a below par international match across the board, however in my opinion it was so due to the judiciary of the referee and his inability to officiate a match of this level.
Good matches are built and played from a good platform of flow NOT a stop/ start unclear interpretation of rugby’s 101 laws.
In this case the offside and breakdown law. Receiving the ball and defender simultaneously is a clear indication of offside and lying on a player without supporting your own body weight are clear infringements of these laws.
15 penalties within 20 minutes of play sees a game play out in the manner with which we saw and then media labelled as “scrappy” “disjointed” and “below par”
NOT a good advertisement for the sport itself.
Italy have passion, are big men with limited rugby nous and skill level.
They played like so and to their credit they did disrupt an inexperienced, young ABs side. A couple of the experienced players in the ABs starting were well below their own capabilities and seemed inept to adapt to the onslaught of rushed defence and disruptive breakdown.
Fast forward to the 60th minute where it’s well known that ANY team who plays the All Blacks this is the time and space where with the injection of bench (usually experienced) players where the game changes gear and it’s either be in front (significantly) or try to stay with them because the fitness, skill, experience and knowledge of the ABs will either chase you down or rack up the points tally and it’s the latter that happened here. Not a great test match however a record breaking achievement for the calendar year. Congrats boys
Rest, recoup, regroup and reenergise for a battle of epic proportions with the very skilled and talented Ireland team.

The ref was terrible but he wasn't the only reason the game was so stop/start. Have the ABs even had any new game plans or structures since Foster took over? I swear all we do is throw it out the backline and hope we get some individual brilliance. Whenever teams defend pretty well the ABs look lost, like they just can't create any pressure. Granted, the ABs are always gonna run rampant against Italy but I'm still not sure we have improved AT ALL in any area in the last few years since we got embarassed at the world cup.
Quick reminder that Fosters entire coaching experience can be summed up by "constantly last place" and that the only time he has ever been apart of successful teams was as an ASSISTANT. Whereas Razor has won everythinghe's touched. Foster is ruining the ABs.
The fundamentals of the game don’t change even though the laws constantly do so I agree in part and that is,
you have to earn the right to go wide AFTER the up front battle has been won. The 2nd tier tight 5 did not do achieve this, with no front foot ball and a rush defence they fell into the hands of how Italy wanted to play therefore attributing to the stop/start
The positive is the experience they would have gotten from it.
Not sure why you think Foster isn’t a good coach, he’s was part of a World Cup winning coaching team in 2011, he’s lost 1 match (so far) this year against the World Cup Sth Africans, in this particular game (against Italy) he’s coached them to a world record breaking most test points and most tries scored in a calendar year.
Scott “Razor” Robertson is indeed a good coach, however history has shown that coaching at Test level is a far cry from domestic, provincial or Super.
Robbie Deans proved that fact.
Embarrassed? Not in my opinion just outplayed by a better (England) team
If anything it was the decisions made by then Head coach Steve Hansen that led to that outcome.

The only time they've even looked close to being consistently competitive with SA in the last 20 years was when Robbie deans was in charge. And thats AS A KIWI COACHING AN AUSTRALIAN TEAM.
Here are the stats btw. Outside of the ABs Robbie deans Australia played 56 games, won 40, drew 2 and lost 14. Thats a win rate of like 75%.

Questi si vantano tanto quando da loro conoscono solo il rugby. A calcio la loro nazionale sarebbe in grado di perdere col vecchio Cervia di Ciccio Graziani e a pallavolo prenderebbe schiaffi anche dalla squadra femminile del mio vecchio liceo..
Don't lose too much sleep on this game... Apart from Coles and Cane returning, and D Mac having a shocker, it was a 2.5-3rd string team playing Italy. Let that sink in...
5:04 Dmac quite clearly releases the ball before going again
Drop Sam Cane! Whitelock the true captain!
For Gods sake AB's! find your best starting 15, stick with that side every game whether its an easier opponent and let them continually gell until the F'ing world cup!! this crap of changing the side to give players a run is ludicrous!!
It’s the curse of having too much talent. They are still looking for the best 15 and it’s combos, not worried..
cuttygrass They’ve already got a good idea of the combos. You can see it when the ABs play the better sides vs mediocre sides. They just want to give everyone a run which is actually reducing the sides true potential leading up to World Cup. Yes too much talent but this is the AB’s. you’re either in that talented 15 or you’re not. No free passes. Where you worried about the last World Cup?? You should of been cos they their asses handed to them by England in case you forgot.
All this rotation stuff does is ruin the all blacks, look at diamond McKenzie he couldn't find anyone to link up with, he couldn't determine which player was a forward and a back.
It so shocking to do lollie scramble team's, 15 games a year and they will be lucky if they play 8 games together without half the team being changed.
Richie mounga has no idea when he will play and who he will play beside, what a joke of a coach.
Players need to learn about each other and know each others every move
18 consistent super rugby games with the same player's is so much better than rotation like a cow shed at milking
christie to play under smith next year. Will be a weapon if he gets that time with smith.
The ref fumbled it terribly. That should have been an Italian try in the beginning. Wouldn't have changed the outcome of the match, of course, the All Blacks were always going to win. But this shouldn't be happening at the international level. Could have been the highlight of his sporting career for the Italian should be try scorer.
I see Hakuho has called it a day. Always a Chiyonofuji fan but damn, I'll bow to Hakuho being the greatest.....wish Ama wasn't railroaded out, he would have picked up a couple more basho from Hakuho.
@@zabaleta66 Mate, it's the fateful September, that strikes again. I was born in September. So was my son. In September, one of my all time favorites, Chiyonofuji, entered maezumo, while the other all time fav of mine (Harumafuji/Ama) became a yokozuna in an absolutely spectacular manner. It was September many many years ago, that I rekindled my interest in sumo, it was September a couple of years ago, that I got to visit Japan and got to watch the last two days of Aki basho right at the Kokugikan. And now it was September again, that the greatest sumo wrestler of all time announced his retirement.
Man, towards the end of his career, I couldn't stand some of his antics (like his kachi-age + harite intro, or his tendency to dish out dame-oshi when he was angry, or his tendency to fall right on a shinpan), but at the same token, I know I won't see his like ever again in my life. It's hard to put in words what I felt when he retired. "End of an era" doesn't do it justice. I'm so grateful I was fortunate enough to have watched the GOAT in his prime, so grateful to have seen my all time favorite best the GOAT so many times in his prime (to my ecstatic roar), but at the same time I'm so sad, that it's over, and I won't see anything like it again.
Rubbish in that first half/50 minutes or so.
Can't we meet physical defense with equally physical carrying anymore!? Italy's two, three man tackling was magnificent though!
Perhaps we should just hold the fkn pill a bit more!
DMac should be finished with the AB's now, just a funsy festival game player.
Bridge sotutu mckenzie ennor cane ..definitively OUT !!!
@@drisszyani3497 lmao you should be saying "steroids in SA rugby definitively OUT!!" Stfu bro
The ABs should refuse to play with Davos FEW / WEF Adhern wrecking their democracy, country, economy, health and Christian civilization/ human rights.
ABs always reloading with their youngsters
Can not denie Kristy has gas💯
Kristy and Fakatava are future nine pairs for the AB's.
Same Cane's leading the game i wonder why.
What do you mean by that?
@@Unlnowntoes not captain material
What's the point of Italy kicking penalties when they're behind on the score board & highly unlikely were ever going to win the match,just kicking practice for one player instead of trying to score a team try which would be 100 times more rewarding,no confidence 🇮🇹, you were playing a terrible team performance from the abs,you should have tried to take more advantage of it.Italy kicking penalties against the abs is never going to get you any where as we all know the abs score the bulk of their points in the last 20min with tries,they should have kept possession by kicking for touch close to abs line then line out drive,man up & have a go next time!
They need to take them 3 points every time and hope for more chances .
@@alcoyne3333333333333 read what I wrote again Alan,your attitude is the same as the Italians & look where it got them,9 points wow.
@@chrisjohns6025 it's better than no points. Google how many tries Italy has scored against us in the past. There are reasons for everything and just because you can't think of any doesn't make your dumb opinion right 🤣
@@MaoriiGurLO9 so going by your reasoning the Italians have given up all hope of ever scoring a try against nz,great mindset,just like yours,teams and games are more remembered for the tries that are scored against stronger opposition,not by kicking a few penalties & still losing by 40 or 50 points.
@@chrisjohns6025 No, a kick level the score and is followed by a kick that give the ball back to the team that scored. On 21-6/28-9 you can kick and THEN go for a try, which they did attemp
Ngani Laumape sorely missed.
Jeeze this ref was crap.
