These fucking ITV commentators are atrocious

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

The Irish-sounding bint?
I don't know which commentors I have, but the descriptions of "atrocious" and this silly cow - suggest to me it's ITV.

Definitely English

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

Yep 100%

Who are the ITV commentators for this match?

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.

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.

Lomax has been carrying very well tonight.

So has Taylor

He has but he's been penalised two or three times so I'm not giving him credit for anything else either.

Lineout is interesting...

Maybe I've been away too long - they all sound the same.

Who threw that shocker

Glad I didn't get tickets for this match.

Just need a chip / grubber or Roigard break in close to shorten up the Italian D line.

Interesting long ball from Jordan.

You can't play Sititi and Savea in the same backrow. And neither screams All Blacks quality to me.

Bungled. That was a real loopy one.

Nick Heath and former England player Nolli Waterman.

This Frog luuuuuuurrrrvesss us

The aussie game is going to be way better than this shite

@sparky Hopefully some new loose forwards breakthrough sooner rather than later.

They are getting big hard ons for the Italians.

Italian LH had quite the angle there

Doesn't sound like I'm missing much, but I'm in Fiji and the resort doesn't have the channel. And my free live streams aren't working. Sky and VPN neither

Can we make sure we don’t play in Wellington for very very long time. This place is cursed

The fuck is with this French ref? Italian loosehead drives in right in front of him, 7 then changes bind and swims up to join the front row. Penalises Black.
