Yellow card. That was clear and cynical.

The quality of this game versus the Super final is night and day.

It's an entirely different game when you have a northern hemisphere ref looking to slow it down as much as he can.

FFS.

Lomax in front of the kicker and now with the neck roll

EDG having a good game.

Will Jordan in.

Our ball carriers are weak as shit. No punch through the line.

Knock on, isn't it?

These fucking ITV commentators are atrocious

48th try for Will Jordan. 2nd top scorer for the ABs.

Great hands Jordan, he just keeps scoring bloody tries

Great try. Nice kick through from Barrett.

NZ 14 Italy 10

10 minutes out from half time.

Carter has been pretty good on the left so far

Moorby on.

@Old-Samurai-Jack Was is batted to Carter from Jordan?

Darry Degrout and Jacobson are getting across the line .. but others are too upright in contact ... like Ardie and Wallace

And no punch up front. De Groot, Taylor and Lomax etc aren’t the types to bend a defensive line if we want to play optimistic rugby.

Did they just sub Carter?

The woman so gleeful whenever Italy are on top, all of a sudden she's at a funeral when the ABs score.

This is fucking stupid reffing

this will be no try

lol typical French BS

Oh so this is where they get to try and read the players thoughts and judge intent. Love these ones.

He's taking forever over this and they are looking at the wrong incident.

Hurt his shoulder earlier in the game. Was asking to go off a few mins earlier

What the fuck is this? It's not a knock on unless it hits the ground or another player right?

@Bones Yeah. Sounds like she’s avoiding talking

Ah, great final play then!!

The fuck is this bullshit? Rugby was supposed to eliminate this officious nonsense.

Every decision against Italy is questioned.

Jordan for centre please.

Technically, no.

I prefer it when she doesn't talk.

Lomax has been carrying very well tonight.

So has Taylor

Our front five have been okay. The issue is the back row.

Savea can't even carry and get to ground.

@antipodean Went in too high.
