[QUOTE="robocoppola, post: 142864"] Thanks, but I think this is a moment our rugby is living, because of all the publicness the medias are giving to rugby after the two matches we won in the six nations. Before that, sport newspapers never dedicated more than a page about rugby and yesterday we got a 10-page world cup special BEFORE FOOTBALL PAGES!. I'm afraid this will calm at all after the world cup :( In Italy we thrill about every sport when the team goes in a good way, but we soon forget it when things go bad. (the same thing happened when we won the basket silver medal in the Olympic Games) :( :( Little premature mate. NZ have always been ruthless in destroying inferior opposition. Italy like so many NH teams in the past shot themselves in the foot by playing AB's the myth not AB's the team. The NZ's are human like all the other teams. If you apply pressure and cut down there time and space they'll make mistakes. Italy are a lot better team then they showed today. They were completely passive and awestruck. The Aussies and SA's will at least not die wondering. Their so used to playing NZ that don't by into the myth. In saying that NZ looked really good. Very tight, lots a pace and fewer unforced errors then they've been making lately. Someones going to have to play at the peak of their powers to beat them. Their are still some teams cappable of doing it if they rip in. [/b][/quote] I completely agree with that. I don't know if Italy is really a good team because the first rugby match I've ever seen was yesterday game, but the reality is that the goal for this match was to loose better than the last time in world cup, and ***les in the newspapers were "Let's the best we can" and "Avoid the massacre!"...
