I'm a 50year old springboks supporter... people ask me last week wot I'm smoking when I told everyone to please not write the All black's off so soon... they are the rugby trend setters of the world for the century...no way they can be written off with out showing up to show the world... what great giant killers they are
in the 6Nations this year Italy conceded differential 74 points in 5 games against France Ireland England Wales Scotland combined, today they conceded 79 in just 1 game.
It’s says something about New Zealand. They are the most ruthless team in world rugby. From an Italian perspective it was their worst performance that I have ever seen partially due to the opposition but some of the defensive errors were on par with teams like Namibia, Romania, etc.
As a kiwi I have to agree with the Welsh guy. We can throttle teams that don't play well as we are the most clinical team in world rugby. Was hoping Italy would at least put up a contest.
Tim your channel rocks love ya passion I only wish I had bumped into you after the game sharing my excitment over that mind blowing win - you were so excited you forgot to mention the standout players - well there were so many Thank you so much for being there I feel I can now say I was there with you outside the stadium Go the mighty All Blacks they are heading straight on towards Ireland with some heavy hitting appendages The AB bench had 3 world cup winners in Whitlock Cane and Coles all three can deliver big time in the final 20 Stealing line outs snaffling balls big defense and scoring in the corners
Kiwi here, watched the game live in a little NZ country pub at 8am. Lots of rugby mum and dads having the buffet breakfast and a quiet sneaky beer. The atmosphere looked amazing over there and our punters enjoyed Italys last try they never gave up. But they were isolating themselves and not committing to tackles throughout. Good to see the ABs use the breadth and depth of their talent and put their training to good use because you need to employ both talent and tactics on the day. Those Portugal players were gonna party no matter who won haha
As an Irish fan I have just one word for you Tim "Legend" that's what you are . Great videos honest down to earth talking and such very fair reviews .Your just a great honest guy .Tim a person said this week I think "write a book about it when it's all over ."Do this and then do some Book signings in UK and Ireland. It will give us your fans a chance with luck to meet you Tim great videos ,can't wait for your next one .
Didn't see that coming from the ABs, nearly a complete performance. Ardie is a beast and should be the permanent captain. I thought Italy was poor overall, but the two good tries showed what they are capable of.
As an Italian I don't know what to say, it's humiliating. We stopped playing after 15 minutes, this is not acceptable when the score is still close, especially in a World Cup. But congratulations to the All Blacks because they played perfectly.
@@EggchasersRugby italy really have promising backs, ngl. They were electric when they get ball, especially that 5 man all blacks scramble against the italian try.
When I saw them during the anthem I was like they are fired up but I think the haka and everything just rocked them, a young team.I hope they bounce back fast
I think Italy bore the brunt of a New Zealand fightback against their own recent humiliations against France and South Africa. Italy do get their chance to make amends against France though.
I like your raw reviews, actually at the stadium directly after the games. Great perspective. NZ showed what they can do when they are allowed to play their natural game.
When teams are weak, they pass back and forward across the pitch going nowhere until its time to kick the ball away. Tonight the ABs wrecked their way right up the middle of the park led by the very awesome Savea. He parted Italy like Moses. Seeing the front 10 enjoying themselves like that is mouthwatering. Italy capitulated but ABs made it look like men v boys
Hi Tim. Big fan. But as an Irishman, there was no surprise in that match tonight. Most of us in Ireland have not been taking NZ for granted in the slightest. One off night in Twickenham against an all-firing SA team did nothing to fool most of us in Ireland about what we could face in the QF if we get there. So I don’t think it's accurate to suggest that tonight's result serves as a wake up call. Keen rugby fans never dismissed this NZ team. If it's an IRE v NZ quarter final, it's a toss up, and that was also true before tonight's performance. Keep up the good work! Dave.
I cant be the only one thats seen comments from arrogant Irish fans talking as if they have made the finals already im not saying you one of them but that game between Ireland and New Zealand is gonna cause a major upset to the tournament “favorites” cant wait🤝
As an Irish fan, no one really thinks we will get through NZ with ease. And if we do manage to do it, there will be an emotional and physical damage to it. But first, Scotland. Only thing for us is we will be battle ready after SA and Scotland whereas NZ have coasted since France in the opening week
Tbf it's never easy getting through the all blacks, they'll make you scrap for every single point. Even when they're on they're on the backfoot you cannot feel at ease until that final whistle is blown. To think it'll be easy I appreciate the confidence. Seeing as they've lost the opening to France and the previous game against the Boks, if anything this all blacks is hungry to be noticed again.
@jamesogden7457 Possibly. But Having to go through SA and the ABs, if Ireland lose to the ABs, there's no shame in that. That's the reality. Meanwhile the other side of the draw, you have rubbish teams coasting through off the back of shocking organisation of the groups. And im sure as shite is brown and stinky... your team is on the easy side of the draw loving live costing through. TIll you meet any of France SA Ireland or NZ and your're shite team will be smashed.
Difference between the top 2 Northern & Southern sides is zilch, its down to who brings their A game on any given day which has now put some excitement back into Rugby, saying that & being an ABs fan its time the French step up to the winners podium. Love to see the full tours come back, losing that has done more damage than good for the game.
Pleasing to finally see the potential of the team come together. We saw 20min against the SA a couple of months ago of what this team can do and tonight we saw an 80 minute performance. Make no mistake this was one game and we need to put it aside asap and prepare for the next battle.
Tim you are the bomb your commentries are the best of any other broadcaster out there! The ABs were complete Monsters. Kiwi fans needed this performance to keep the hopes and dreams alive. We can start feeling the confidence rising up again… not quiet there yet but faith inspiring indeed.😅
As a NZ fan I have to say I love to watch the French play. I'm a huge fan of the French team and have been since I saw their young team win the under 21s in spectacular fashion ( a few years ago now), the first signs of the incredible team they have now. It's cool to see French fans supporting the Abs! The quarter-finals against Ireland is going to be an incredible spectacle!

@@stiofain88 Hehehe, cracked me up! I'm going to be sad to see either team go out at the Quarter Finals. But if it's us, I will be cheering for Ireland all the way! It's an awesome time to be a rugby fan.
These videos are incredible. It’s really amazing to get an idea of the atmosphere around the stadium for these games. Really amazing work you’re doing!
OK, as a Saffa I'm happy to be playing France rather than NZ, they are back, that was a domineering clinical performance. Ireland vs ABs is going to be an absolute banger. I think ABs definitely have a good chance of beating Ireland now. I still make Ireland favourites though. Thec two teams that win the knock outs from our side of tge draw will play each other in the final!
The highest score in the tournament and against a tier 1 side i feel for Uruguay.Its funny when NZ win big the opponents were rubbish if someone else wins big theyre the greatest 😂
It's funny how some Welsh fans say 'the All Blacks can only do this against 'mediocre sides'. That Welsh fan needs to brush out the cobwebs from his memory bank, and check out shorelines from past performances against the Welsh. It was only a year ago Wales was.put to the sword at home.
As a kiwi I'm so so happy about how we played. But as someone who has been supporting the Italian team the 2 years, I'm so disappointed for them. I hope it doesn't set back Italian rugby but I fear you're right. Great channel, keep up the great content mate!
I think a big loss like this will be beneficial in the long run. Look at SA losing 57-0 to the ABs in 2017 then winning the WC in 2019. Not saying italy will win the wc anytime soon lol but i dont think itll be as bad for italy rugby in the long run as ive seen a few people say
Hi Tim. Glad to see you striking out on your own... You're the best one, man..😂😂😂. I think the italians were beaten before they went on the pitch. As an irish fan I can relate. We were like that for the first hundred years.
Great review as usual Tim. It’s very impressive how you do it all in one take especially with all the fan interactions and interruptions! But it gives us the viewer a great insight of the vibe at the stadium. Regarding the game, that Welsh fan may have somewhat of a point, that a lot of the NZ dominance was due to weak defense, but one thing that’s not in dispute, is that Richie Mo’unga is in incredible place kicking form.
Tim, not at all surprised with this result although very shocked at Italys performance. As an Irish fan following the NZ rugby commentators since Ireland won the series in NZ June 2022, there has been a lot of introspective debate in NZ on how to get their team back to compete at the highest level. On a personal level, I really do hope that Ireland meet NZ in the QF (assuming we get through the Scotland test). This would be a great game of rugby where the stakes have never been so high for both teams. IRL never past QF and equally NZ will be tested dealing with the most cohesive side in the competition (with an AB winning mentality).
My man Tim, great work as always. Very pleased I found your commentaries and subscribed. As Irish fan, that result helps to hype up our QF with the ABs very nicely indeed. Huge match. Only two possible outcomes from that, Ireland fail miserably at QF stage again, or we humble those ABs, put them in their place in front of a world wide audience once and for all. Personally, I feel the ABs are overdue a good hammering like they have dished out over the years, but I would say that, wouldn't I. Roll on the big game. I be watching your channel Tim.
Great channel …your analysis is always fair and objective….my dream final would be Nz vs England .2 teams that probably have the least expectations and just simmering away quietly …..I am a proud Ab fan with an even Prouder English Father Inlaw ….heading over for Xmas soon and it would be great to see One of Us with a Big Grin…..Love the walk out of stadium Commentaries ….
For team cohesion and bringing Jordie and Shannon back into the team (and what a difference they made) it was a great game, in tournament terms I can't help thinking they are a bit undercooked, I was hoping for a hard challenging game, still it was a good reminder to all to never count the All Blacks out.
I was one of the few expecting an historic Italian win…. Boy oh boy what a crushing disappointment, turned it off after the 5th try! Congrats to NZ, what a statement to the rest of the world, be afraid!
You have to stop NZ playing, like what SA do.. Italy were dreadful, but no other team would of put that score up. Brilliant play by NZ. Ireland or Scotland will have to defend like the SAs to have a chance. Wow, that's a statement. Irish fan.
Agree but there was zero pressure on NZ. They were brilliant but not tested at all. By the time the QF comes they'll.havs had one battle and that was against France.
Watch out they are back !! Superb performance from the ABs but my god Italy stopped playing 18 minutes into the game. Dreadful and I don’t mean to be disrespectful towards them but they are better than that. Congratulations to NZ from an Irish supporter. You have let us all know you are more than capable of winning this WC. Dreadful for Italian rugby 🇮🇪☘️
How are they “back”? They pumped a team who by your own admission gave up after 18 minutes. The reality is is that they got their pants pulled down and their arses smacked by the Boks. Then got overrun and overpowered by a team who are rated as favourites for the cup. In the quarters they’ll face a team who have had their number since 2016.
@ACDCfan72 That was harsh and not very fair. As an Irishman I'll say it's ridiculous to say we have had their number since 2016, not to take away from our series win in NZ, but we got hammered by them in the most important game of all in that period the 2019 QF. This Irish team is in a different place than then, so I'm not expecting a repeat hammering should we make the QF versus them, we still have to get through Scotland, but I'm expecting a tough hard to call game.
I have never seen Italy so lacklustre and disinterested! They seemed to give up after the second try. This match doesn't prepare the ABs for the QFs! ;-)
I love the fact that you are happy to let the drunks barge-in on your presentation. And are you going to have an Ange pixie on top of your christmas tree this year? 😀
Wow, Jebb Sinclair!! He left quite the impression in South Africa as having a handy right hook. Italy got bamboozled by the Ka Mate, didn’t know how to respond.
Its one thing beating Italy when Italy exerted no pressure of any kind, its an entirely different game when NZ play Ireland, SA or France. There are only four teams in this world cup, as usual. NZ would have to be 4th out of those. On a good day the AB's will beat any team. But they dont have as many good days as they used to. Frances threat is unfortunately blunted by injury, which could count them out. I hope the AB's prove me wrong, but I think even a bunch of players as talented as these NZers cannot overcome the handicap of their second rate coach.
have to agree, there's no Plan B like in the Henry days when he instilled some intelligence on the field in the shape of guys like Carter and McCaw. We still have the talent, but the coaching is shite. The Abs will always be dangerous when the structure of a game breaks apart, but well-drilled sides like Ireland don't do that. England is in a similar position to NZ, only slightly ahead, on their way back from a coaching disaster.
Buzzing at the 2 ABs supporters from Switzerland. Awesome to see Rugby have a reach that far. Wouldn't pick Switzerland to have rugby followers, let alone ABs supporters. Otherwise, Tim, awesome after match report. Loving following and watching from SYD. 🙂
What I love about this guy is that he calls a spade a spade. If a team is shite he say that, if they are good, then ditto. Gave some of the NZ media a serve for being arrogant ( and the deserved it ) Clinical as everyone has said about the AB's but so difficult to gauge where they stand. Good win, great skills, running rugby....Lets see what happens against Ireland.
NZ were always going to be competitive with the top sides with Frizell and Retallic back in the frame. If the scrum holds up against Ireland, it could well be goodnight Ireland, because the backline of NZ is always the premiere backline in world rugby.
A lot of people have ruled that the ABs are finished except the Irish. Still the Irish just concentrate on their upcoming game against Scotland, which will be a Dinger between two Celtic cousins. Thanks for a great and factual report. Nothing between top 4. It will all come down to performance on the day. Impossible to tell who's going to be champions.
My wife is from Christchurch and I’m from Dublin, OMG, absolute massacre. I feel like I got the wind knocked out of me! The Irish semifinal curse is real.
Not sure that game really told us much we didn't know already. The All Blacks are always lethal when given time and space, which Italy gave them in abundance. It's been a different story of late, however, when they've been denied both, and Ireland will certainly do that.
ABs were 8/10 and need to improve for IRE. Italy were 2/10. Highlights for ABs were dominate scrum & lineout. No cards or injuries so should be fully loaded for quarters.
Tim. Think you should be appointed by RWC for their RWC media. You bring the tension, atmosphere, back ground on teams and players to life. We honestly have been starved with this RWC where more focus has been on red cards or lack of than the spectacle. Keep it up and thank you (a Springbok supporter)
Saffa here, never doubted our rivals would come back to their form, absolutely could not fathom the northern teams and media writing them off. Love that they are reaching their final form. When Ireland beat us 13-8, I knew it was gonna be an NZ-SA final. See you there brothers.
As a Saffa, I’m so glad ABs gave that performance. So much flack has been given to them. A statement and reminder to the media who they are. Northern hemisphere media needs to be more humble.
Italy collapsed entirely in the first 20mins. Their tackling was lackluster, they backed off and switched off. I think it makes the ABs look *slightly* stronger, but its hard to genuinely tell how good they are because Italy completely faied to turn up. Italy really sit on this weird "Tier 1.5" fence.
"good at throwing fancy moves against mediocre teams" None of his mates laughed at that quote, they looked embarrassed. Hey didn't Italy beat Wales last year? 🤣🤣Italy annihilated Nambia and Uruguay and were 5 points in front of the ABs with as many games. But they're a" mediocre team". It's true that nothing really matters now until the quarters, everything will hinge on Ireland
The Italians seemed disinterested… But it does show that if teams don’t stop the ABs at source and have an organized defense then it gets ugly… AB pace and skill in open play will see to that
The only positive I can take from that as an Irishman is NZ don't get to have decent prep games leading into the QF (that is IF we get to play them, not assuming anything versus Scotland), but it's clutching at straws. I didn't get to see the game as I'm in Asia, but no one in the 6N beats Italy by this type of margin, a hammering for Italy in the 6N is like a 30-40 point margin, this was nearly an 80 point margin 😲. Anyway well done NZ, the ultimate punishers still if a team shows them any weakness. Hope Italy can bounce back from this and at least don't get hammered by France.
I love the Welsh fans take on the record of the ABs who his home team last beat in 1963. His comment that the ABs rack up big scores against average opposition is bang on though but isn't that what good teams do? The overall winning percentage of 77+% infers they also beat good teams far more regularly than not aswell though.They have struggled defensively for some patchy results more recently and France, Ireland and SA would be favorites with the bookies, England and Wales are building flying under the radar a bit. I'm a kiwi so I'll be backing the underdog ABs. Some good teams will be going home after the quarterfinals may the fun continue and the best team win (whoever that is)
As an Irish fan I'm delighted with that result , 1the ABs would have loved a tougher game than that , 2, everyone will be now talking about the ABs now and how great they are ,and are now favs again , and 3,and best off all Foster will stick with that team in quarterfinal apart from DeGroot and There midfield , fullback will be found out

Us Bok fans kept saying.... don't underestimate the ABs. Everyone kept talking up Italy. Man, Italy got smashed. That is the ABs for you 🤣🤣🤣💚💛🇿🇦
The only time Italy seemed interested in playing was when it was to stop ABs getting 100 points.
Well put.

As a kiwi I'm so so happy about how we played. But as someone who has been supporting the Italian team the 2 years, I'm so disappointed for them. I hope it doesn't set back Italian rugby but I fear you're right.
Great channel, keep up the great content mate!
I think a big loss like this will be beneficial in the long run. Look at SA losing 57-0 to the ABs in 2017 then winning the WC in 2019. Not saying italy will win the wc anytime soon lol but i dont think itll be as bad for italy rugby in the long run as ive seen a few people say
@@deval97 I hope so!
@@deval97well Italy beat SA around that same period so we'll see. Italy are improving but that wasn't on show last night unfortunately.
Hi Tim. Glad to see you striking out on your own... You're the best one, man..😂😂😂. I think the italians were beaten before they went on the pitch. As an irish fan I can relate. We were like that for the first hundred years.
😂
Great review as usual Tim. It’s very impressive how you do it all in one take especially with all the fan interactions and interruptions! But it gives us the viewer a great insight of the vibe at the stadium. Regarding the game, that Welsh fan may have somewhat of a point, that a lot of the NZ dominance was due to weak defense, but one thing that’s not in dispute, is that Richie Mo’unga is in incredible place kicking form.
Tim, not at all surprised with this result although very shocked at Italys performance. As an Irish fan following the NZ rugby commentators since Ireland won the series in NZ June 2022, there has been a lot of introspective debate in NZ on how to get their team back to compete at the highest level. On a personal level, I really do hope that Ireland meet NZ in the QF (assuming we get through the Scotland test). This would be a great game of rugby where the stakes have never been so high for both teams. IRL never past QF and equally NZ will be tested dealing with the most cohesive side in the competition (with an AB winning mentality).
Abs have had much higher stakes than quarter finals, we've won 8 of them and lost one. Finals are much bigger stakes
This is how rugby should be played. The wow factor!. Let the game flow!. Let the boys run!.
Great video! now bring on the quarters!!
My man Tim, great work as always. Very pleased I found your commentaries and subscribed.
As Irish fan, that result helps to hype up our QF with the ABs very nicely indeed. Huge match. Only two possible outcomes from that, Ireland fail miserably at QF stage again, or we humble those ABs, put them in their place in front of a world wide audience once and for all. Personally, I feel the ABs are overdue a good hammering like they have dished out over the years, but I would say that, wouldn't I. Roll on the big game. I be watching your channel Tim.
Relax, lad. We've to beat Scotland first.
Thanks for your take on the match.
Pain for 🇮🇹.
great work, love ya style.
Great content brother! appreciate what you do.
Great channel …your analysis is always fair and objective….my dream final would be Nz vs England .2 teams that probably have the least expectations and just simmering away quietly …..I am a proud Ab fan with an even Prouder English Father Inlaw ….heading over for Xmas soon and it would be great to see One of Us with a Big Grin…..Love the walk out of stadium Commentaries ….
For team cohesion and bringing Jordie and Shannon back into the team (and what a difference they made) it was a great game, in tournament terms I can't help thinking they are a bit undercooked, I was hoping for a hard challenging game, still it was a good reminder to all to never count the All Blacks out.
Tim you're a top guy. You added to my WC experience. Thanks! 🇿🇦
Lol we did say in SA that a wounded All Blacks team would be dangerous. 😂
I was one of the few expecting an historic Italian win…. Boy oh boy what a crushing disappointment, turned it off after the 5th try!
Congrats to NZ, what a statement to the rest of the world, be afraid!
Bro thank you for what you are doing it makes me feel like Im there
You have to stop NZ playing, like what SA do.. Italy were dreadful, but no other team would of put that score up. Brilliant play by NZ. Ireland or Scotland will have to defend like the SAs to have a chance. Wow, that's a statement. Irish fan.
Even SA find that hard to do looking at previous results
Agree but there was zero pressure on NZ. They were brilliant but not tested at all. By the time the QF comes they'll.havs had one battle and that was against France.
Get a pedantic ref and fake a lot of injuries to slow the game down like the Saffas
Lol.. "no other team would of put up that score" go check history books please old guru of rugby knowledge.
@@shintenkai1648 isn't it funny when NZ thrash teams the opponents were rubbish if another side does it theyre the greatest 😂
Watch out they are back !! Superb performance from the ABs but my god Italy stopped playing 18 minutes into the game. Dreadful and I don’t mean to be disrespectful towards them but they are better than that.
Congratulations to NZ from an Irish supporter. You have let us all know you are more than capable of winning this WC. Dreadful for Italian rugby 🇮🇪☘️
How are they “back”? They pumped a team who by your own admission gave up after 18 minutes. The reality is is that they got their pants pulled down and their arses smacked by the Boks. Then got overrun and overpowered by a team who are rated as favourites for the cup. In the quarters they’ll face a team who have had their number since 2016.
NZ cannot make anything from that result.
@ACDCfan72
That was harsh and not very fair. As an Irishman I'll say it's ridiculous to say we have had their number since 2016, not to take away from our series win in NZ, but we got hammered by them in the most important game of all in that period the 2019 QF. This Irish team is in a different place than then, so I'm not expecting a repeat hammering should we make the QF versus them, we still have to get through Scotland, but I'm expecting a tough hard to call game.
To be fair the game was nearly over after 18 minutes.
🙄🙄🙄🙄
We finally got our team on the pitch, all is right with the world again.
I have never seen Italy so lacklustre and disinterested! They seemed to give up after the second try. This match doesn't prepare the ABs for the QFs! ;-)
Aint been a rugby fan for that long huh?
@@shintenkai1648 51 years!
Great craic as always
I love the fact that you are happy to let the drunks barge-in on your presentation.
And are you going to have an Ange pixie on top of your christmas tree this year? 😀
Ireland v ABs in the QFs will be several notches up on the SA game.
S#%t is about to get real!
Great video, informative yet hilarious.
Interesting to note, other nations wearing all Blacks jerseys lol, even some French
Yip we still got it
Never underestimate NZ rugby!! They be in final with Springboks.
Wow, Jebb Sinclair!! He left quite the impression in South Africa as having a handy right hook.
Italy got bamboozled by the Ka Mate, didn’t know how to respond.
"Good at throwing shots at mediocre teams "..brilliant 🤣🤣 some truth there..
Its one thing beating Italy when Italy exerted no pressure of any kind, its an entirely different game when NZ play Ireland, SA or France. There are only four teams in this world cup, as usual. NZ would have to be 4th out of those. On a good day the AB's will beat any team. But they dont have as many good days as they used to. Frances threat is unfortunately blunted by injury, which could count them out. I hope the AB's prove me wrong, but I think even a bunch of players as talented as these NZers cannot overcome the handicap of their second rate coach.
have to agree, there's no Plan B like in the Henry days when he instilled some intelligence on the field in the shape of guys like Carter and McCaw. We still have the talent, but the coaching is shite. The Abs will always be dangerous when the structure of a game breaks apart, but well-drilled sides like Ireland don't do that. England is in a similar position to NZ, only slightly ahead, on their way back from a coaching disaster.
Buzzing at the 2 ABs supporters from Switzerland. Awesome to see Rugby have a reach that far. Wouldn't pick Switzerland to have rugby followers, let alone ABs supporters. Otherwise, Tim, awesome after match report. Loving following and watching from SYD. 🙂
These just get better and better. Welshies, Kiwi’s and a Canadian!
It was bloody incredible
Crowed participation is great and brave for you well done love it
Good luck Ireland
Thank you. All the best to you too 🙏☘💚🇮🇪
What I love about this guy is that he calls a spade a spade. If a team is shite he say that, if they are good, then ditto. Gave some of the NZ media a serve for being arrogant ( and the deserved it ) Clinical as everyone has said about the AB's but so difficult to gauge where they stand. Good win, great skills, running rugby....Lets see what happens against Ireland.
NZ were always going to be competitive with the top sides with Frizell and Retallic back in the frame. If the scrum holds up against Ireland, it could well be goodnight Ireland, because the backline of NZ is always the premiere backline in world rugby.
Yeah and Lomax to strengthen the scrum we were so weakened missing all them forwards good to have Jordie back to near full strength !
Agree, Frizzell & need parity at scrum time. Though ireland are good at playing keep away with the ball. Cant wait.
A lot of people have ruled that the ABs are finished except the Irish. Still the Irish just concentrate on their upcoming game against Scotland, which will be a Dinger between two Celtic cousins. Thanks for a great and factual report. Nothing between top 4. It will all come down to performance on the day. Impossible to tell who's going to be champions.
Ireland suddenly realized they don't make it passed the quarters again.
My wife is from Christchurch and I’m from Dublin, OMG, absolute massacre. I feel like I got the wind knocked out of me! The Irish semifinal curse is real.
Not sure that game really told us much we didn't know already. The All Blacks are always lethal when given time and space, which Italy gave them in abundance. It's been a different story of late, however, when they've been denied both, and Ireland will certainly do that.
nice moment to bump into the Canadian player. Love he was wearing a RWC2015 jersey from an Italian international. class.
p.s. Those two Portuguese geezers at the end looked well dodge! I hope you survived okay Tim. 🤣
Was thinking same thing😂😂😂
As a kiwi, I agree with the welsh guy. It will be interesting to see if they can handle a team with a good defence and set piece
ABs were 8/10 and need to improve for IRE. Italy were 2/10. Highlights for ABs were dominate scrum & lineout. No cards or injuries so should be fully loaded for quarters.
😂
Tim.
Think you should be appointed by RWC for their RWC media. You bring the tension, atmosphere, back ground on teams and players to life. We honestly have been starved with this RWC where more focus has been on red cards or lack of than the spectacle.
Keep it up and thank you (a Springbok supporter)
Great interviewer!
Good result for the Irish, no complacency after that performance
Can i ask why it's good for Ireland? (total noob here).
@@jayjones1649Extremely likely for it to be NZ v Ire QF
@@username9175 but by the looks of things, NZ are hitting form just at the right time lol
@@jayjones1649 So are Ireland and this Webb Ellis is ours
Im loving the interactions with the fans at the end.
Go the AB’s! 🇳🇿Cheers for the coverage Tim! 🍻 You’re doing an outstanding job 🤙🏻
ABs are taking one game at a time and that was job done, for this week. Cant wait until next game.
Saffa here, never doubted our rivals would come back to their form, absolutely could not fathom the northern teams and media writing them off. Love that they are reaching their final form. When Ireland beat us 13-8, I knew it was gonna be an NZ-SA final. See you there brothers.
There won't be a single SH team in the semis
@@randomuruk7230the NH pretenders will get smashed in the QFs can see it already
@@WannaGo2401 The pretenders you keep losing to.
@@randomuruk7230 only in friendlies never in games that really matter like world cups that's when the SH sides rise
@@randomuruk7230 Ireland,France never win games that really matter remember 2019 they're called chokers for a reason
I thought everybody knew by now that the ABs only look human when you deny them time and space. Italy seemed to stand off and let them play.
There injured players back made a huge difference the last time NZ were at full strength was against SA at Mt Smart we know what happened there
As a Saffa, I’m so glad ABs gave that performance. So much flack has been given to them. A statement and reminder to the media who they are. Northern hemisphere media needs to be more humble.
What a load of nonsense
All Blacks took it to another Level...
Unbelievable Performance from New Zealand🙏🏾
Just another day for the allblacks, the standard is so high in nz for the abs the headline will be to fire fozzy because they didnt score 100
Guy in the cheque shirt Legend 😂
France can beat SA and NZ are capable of running in lots of tries against Ireland. Is possible there can be surprises left in this tournament
Both results wouldnt be surprises though.. Ireland have to beat Scotland first
The ABs going to be living rent free in the heads of Ireland fans, pundits and team for next 2-3 weeks
The fact you mentioned us means the opposite is more likely.
Really? The panel on Virgin Media Ireland didn’t look too worried last night
Lol, "Someone better than you?" Ha ha ha, very funny!
Italy collapsed entirely in the first 20mins. Their tackling was lackluster, they backed off and switched off. I think it makes the ABs look *slightly* stronger, but its hard to genuinely tell how good they are because Italy completely faied to turn up. Italy really sit on this weird "Tier 1.5" fence.
"good at throwing fancy moves against mediocre teams" None of his mates laughed at that quote, they looked embarrassed. Hey didn't Italy beat Wales last year? 🤣🤣Italy annihilated Nambia and Uruguay and were 5 points in front of the ABs with as many games. But they're a" mediocre team". It's true that nothing really matters now until the quarters, everything will hinge on Ireland
They didn't annihilate Uruguay, they would have lost if Uruguay had the conditioning to play a full game.
That was sad, like actually genuinly tragic. Italy just evaporated, more points conceded than Namibia. What is the point
I wasn't expecting almost 100 points, but more tha 50 for sure, Italy players were standing, trying to catch filies.
The Italians seemed disinterested…
But it does show that if teams don’t stop the ABs at source and have an organized defense then it gets ugly… AB pace and skill in open play will see to that
The only positive I can take from that as an Irishman is NZ don't get to have decent prep games leading into the QF (that is IF we get to play them, not assuming anything versus Scotland), but it's clutching at straws.
I didn't get to see the game as I'm in Asia, but no one in the 6N beats Italy by this type of margin, a hammering for Italy in the 6N is like a 30-40 point margin, this was nearly an 80 point margin 😲.
Anyway well done NZ, the ultimate punishers still if a team shows them any weakness.
Hope Italy can bounce back from this and at least don't get hammered by France.
Italy just need to import more SA talent and Pacific Islanders. Same as Australia. Only short term answer. England might need the same.
I love the Welsh fans take on the record of the ABs who his home team last beat in 1963. His comment that the ABs rack up big scores against average opposition is bang on though but isn't that what good teams do? The overall winning percentage of 77+% infers they also beat good teams far more regularly than not aswell though.They have struggled defensively for some patchy results more recently and France, Ireland and SA would be favorites with the bookies, England and Wales are building flying under the radar a bit. I'm a kiwi so I'll be backing the underdog ABs.
Some good teams will be going home after the quarterfinals may the fun continue and the best team win (whoever that is)
All Blacks are miles a head of England total rugby at its best Any young players watching this test match that's the way to play 🏉🏉🏴🧐
Hi Tim,
You have now seen what New Zealand can bring to the table when we have our strongest 15, and bench on the field we are a different beast.
Christ, you went up against italy man. Calm down.
As an Irish fan I'm delighted with that result , 1the ABs would have loved a tougher game than that , 2, everyone will be now talking about the ABs now and how great they are ,and are now favs again , and 3,and best off all Foster will stick with that team in quarterfinal apart from DeGroot and There midfield , fullback will be found out
If the ABs had any sense about it they would be questioning why their defense conceded 17 points against a mediocre attack plan.
