    Thats still not a bad Kiwi team even with losing 2 guys late on.

    Don't think they will waltz it however, Italy had a good showing against the Irish only a couple of weeks ago. So hopefully give them a run for their money...

    NZ by 17.

    They may well have problems later on.

    They are playing Muliania in centre for the Italy game now who is usually full back, so that may be an area the opposition may target.

    I personally think they will struggle if they pick up anymore injuries, they don't look as strong on the bench as they have done previously.

    Looking forward to it, just rewatching the game form last night on Setanta as well, Lots of rugby on today, and I think this game will be the most interesting.

    The Italians are steadily improving so it will be interesting to see if they can make a fist of this, even keep it to a reasonable score (bearing in mind that NZ would have slaughtered them a few years ago). If they get within 15pts they'll be doing very well imo, but I can't really see anything other than a pretty easy NZ win.

    What channel is showing this?
    Can't believe TV3/ITV are not showing this?
    Why did they buy the rights is they are not going to show the games? :confused:
