That was only 1:41 of second half but ABs looked a completely different team.
Hope it can continue.

Piss poor handling, fucking abysmal at the breakdown, aimless balls through the backs.

Perhaps if NZ focused more on rugby instead of stupid haircuts they might be doing better. I’m looking at you Dick Mo.

Fozzies replacements are baffling. Dane Coles was looking good. And why take off Jacobson instead of Sotutu there.

Jeepers - not one 'B' teamer has put their hand up.
D-Mac has been terrible. R-Mo has just shovelled ball left and right. Forwards outplayed on the ground. Handling errors in the double figures. Penalty count out of control.
What a waste of an early afternoon of rugby.

Yes, an awful game.
Not helped by the Italians lowering themselves to our level.

Terrible game. Terrible performance. Tired Italy let thr scoreline creep up.
If we play like that against Ireland we will be smeshed.

Kick off has been delayed by 10 minutes because Tonga were late arriving, which is handy for (some of) those still outside.

The unions doing well to convince that these games are not all about the cold hard cash.
Ireland in purple so as not to clash with red and white, England who are normally in white, in red, and Tonga, normally in red in white

The English braying is at a frequency that can’t be heard by non public school educated people.

I fucking hate this "away jersey" and "special edition jersey" nonsense that has crept into the game.
The amount of jersey clashes over the last 5 years because of a team wearing an alternate jersey is completely unacceptable. The fact that Australia and Argentina can have a jersey colour clash speaks volumes.
All to sell a bit merch? Are people actually buying these? Most of the time they are shit.

Yeah, I can't imagine they sell many.
However, I think they are obliged by their contracts with the manufacturer to wear the change strip at least once per season.
Were it me I'd be telling any potential supplier that since kit clashes occur so rarely we'd be having just the one change strip for a full world cup cycle rather than a new one each season.
