Sititi a big downgrade on Lakai (so far)

Lomax's ear is going to fall off

we're giving the Frenchie to many reasons to blow the whistle....

Allan with the penalty kick.

NZ 7 Italy 10

@No-Quarter Open field runner. Should be a midfield back. No way he is a six.

Our ref management is appalling.

In front of the kicker at the kick off. That's under 13 rugby bullshit right there.

Very slack.

Was that Taylor?

These are Robertson era errors.

Italy will be highly encouraged by these first 20 minutes.

Less brutality, more mentality required. Just brainless

I'm glad they called it as sooo many refs let it go, a bugbear of mine

No intensitylacking leadership

Where's super captain Ardie Savea?

Is he playing?

Their boots are all the same colour. I blame the boots.

@sparky said in 2026 Nations Championship: All Blacks v Italy:

DMac horrific under the high ball.

From the Italy box kick? That was Love, no?

Fucking Sititi also. This is super dumb shit and where's the captain?

Sititi used his hand on the deck. Idiot.

South Africa are going to eat us

I've stopped trying to work out what this referee is doing.

Pure French madness.

I always thought he was best suited to 8 but he never plays there anymore. Too many 8s not enough 6s.

Standard Frence ref enigma

Sititi with tits for hands.

@Yeetyaah Random number generator reffing.

Sititi have a shocker so far

Referee being paid by whistle blows

Italy a mile offside there.. never retreated

A flying defender and Wallace Sititi shits the bed.

Wally needed more time off after the head knock in Super

Welcome to Northern Hemisphere officiated rugby.

No Chiefs in Wellington please. Jacobson can stay though.

Stand up leaders!!!! Where are u

Pathetic tackling from Savea.

Did that winger just drag Ardie and Sititi 10metres?

@Landers92 I think Ardie was trying to get a maul, dumb play gave up so many metres

@Landers92 He’s still concussed more than likely

Italy deserving their lead.
