How did the All Blacks secure a 47-17 win over Italy and what was the match flow?

Martin Devlin 0:00
Live from the Caketon. All Blacks have won 45-17. Welcome to the DSPN. We're here in the media centre just waiting for the players to come through for their mixed zone interviews. So, run you through some stats here. 14-10 to the All Blacks at half time. Two tries to one and then a real purple patch where we really hit form and scored four tries. Will Jordan crossing to set the record for the highest all-time All Blacks tri-scorer. So that three in that, this match, takes his total to 50. And the All Blacks well in control at that stage, 40 to 17, took Artie off, that was after 54 minutes, took Artie off after 65 minutes, the game was over. But then it kind of just hit this kind of quick sandy muddled patch where for 26 minutes the All Blacks didn't score, wrapping it up at the end there with a tupu vai try.

So seven tries to two in the end. And this could count. This could count at the end of this competition. You know, let's not forget that you're getting bonus points. And the bonus point system is how Super Rugby used to work, by the way, just to let you know. If you score four tries, you get a bonus point. if you come within seven from that game a really muddled kind of first half and it didn't really get going but as i said after the break got to be impressed with that purple patch of what about 15 or 20 minutes and then the game kind of just heated out a little uh an expecting crowd a crowd that i think were wanting a bit more in the first half didn't get it but uh yeah Second half, you've got to celebrate that.
Martin Devlin 1:28
First and foremost, the All Blacks have won. Jamie, I've got a few questions for you. As always, just before the Mix Zone interviews start, did the All Blacks deserve that result?
Jamie Wall 1:38
Yeah, I think so. I think so. It was a hard-fought game, probably not the prettiest game to watch. But in patches, we saw what this All Black team was capable of, some of the good stuff from last week. But it took a bit of a slog to get there. You mentioned that 15-minute period after half-time where things looked to click. There were a few things that were a bit shaky after that, weren't helped by some disruptions to the game. Red card, Nicola Kononi there, and a pretty unfortunate-looking injury as well, kind of disrupted him. There was about an almost 10-minute break, it felt like, there for a while there. So, yeah, tricky one.
Martin Devlin 2:15
All right, some yes or no questions for you then. Is it all about the points on the board and the result? Is that what this game is about for the All Blacks?
Jamie Wall 2:22
No, because I think you can look at some of the individual performances. At least one of the debutantes as well, I thought Josh Morby was outstanding. Looked right at home there. Probably need another look at what Antoine Segner contributed. And I think that Morby in particular, there's been so much to chat about his abilities at Super Rugby and everything, and then he's able to translate it just sort of straight away. Looks like we're getting, might be having a word to Josh Morby very soon.
Martin Devlin 2:58
Okay, as soon as he comes in, we'll move the camera gear over there. Yes or no answers, did the All Blacks play well? Yes with an if, no with a but. Did the All Blacks play great? No. Did the Azzurri play well? For a while, yes. Certainly that first half? Yes. Did it feel like the same Italian side that we saw against Japan last weekend? Or was it a better side? No. No? Was that first half an improvement on last week for the All Blacks?
Jamie Wall 3:28
Yes. No. Well, in patch again. Yes and no.
Martin Devlin 3:33
We talk about brutality. Did we show enough of that? No. Did the debutants, that's the kind of question you probably just answered, play well? Morby on after 31 minutes, Segnon at half-time? Yes. Will Jordan equal then better? Doug Howlett's try-scoring record for the All Blacks, he's up to 50 now. Does that put him in the conversation as one of our greatest wingers ever? He already was, so yes. Did you know that the TMO could reverse a yellow card? Well, I didn't know that.
Jamie Wall 4:03
But it felt like the referee was reversing a lot of stuff tonight. Should that have been a red card to Kanone?
