[@chercoe5717]

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...

[@drainc4155]

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

[@jordanious7711]

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.

[@drainc4155]

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

[@jordanious7711]

@@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

全員が全員こんなランスキル持ってたら止めれんよ。

[@killiancadogan7953]

Italy done well stopped them for scoring for a long time

[@Jase1000-p2f]

Dmac doesn't deserve to be in this team and there's a whole lotta games where he's proved that!!

[@brucefale6132]

Too many brain fades. Crap under high ball too.

[@drumsandstix128]

Not the usual polish, but a win is a win!

[@bossbartholo9643]

all black never lost

[@leightonsteven7059]

Dane Coles was awesome again

[@michaelamm1137]

Ref won the game for NZ.

[@zt5140]

Remember the allblacks r beatable and good to see other teams play outa there skin

[@mrtnite9780]

When you win 47-9 and it feels like a loss😪

[@calebchase6261]

Does Italy have crowd restrictions due to covid still? All Blacks play infront of poor crowds alot these days.

[@clapadamclap]

This ref had no clue what support your own body weight meant?! Htf do you get to be a ref and blunder like that?

[@johntaylor3298]

Either Ritchie is holding back for Ireland and France tests or his wheels fell off returning back to the side and lost his Mojo.

[@mred9361]

Thanks, I've been thinking that too.

[@jamietaylorjamietaylorjam]

All I see here is for lack of better term, an efficient defensive structure from Crowley. They pressured Ennor into 3 mistakes in 10 minutes and he never mentally recovered. Making some fairly hazardous tackles after to make up for it. Richie, as has been the case in certain tests , did not perform well against the rush structure and there was no real continuity. Finlay Christie seemingly took more of the control after that and we saw results. Probably a Whitelock directive. Shows the we’re not always on point and makes things more exciting

AB forwards had fun today. Italy with some well executed set plays at the 1st half 💯

[@davidmuttillo2806]

Only the announcers for the All Blacks could complain about a 47-9 win as something less than convincing. :)

[@Skybar23]

5:33 theres something weird about his posture when taking his kick

[@levihawkins6211]

That number4 for us is mud cya

[@peterskrobola8753]

What is happening?

[@ri2253]

47-9 and still getting harsh criticism from the media. The expectation from the All Black's getting unrealistic every day

[@sollyharr]

No it’s not at all they are the best because they don’t make stupid mistakes like that! It’s pretty easy to understand really…🙄
