the victory of the All Blacks over Italy

The confrontation between the New Zealand and Italy ended on a positive note for the All Blacks, who dominated the match in Rome with a final score of 29-11.

The autumn tour thus ends with a significant victory for the New Zealand selection, which was able to control the game against a combative but imprecise Italian team.

A start to the match under pressure

From the kick-off, the Italians imposed strong pressure on their opponents, capitalizing on the precision at the foot of Garbisi to enter the first points.

However, despite the energy deployed by the team of Gonzalo Quesadaa drop in defensive vigilance allowed Roigard to score a decisive try, followed by a sharp action from Jordan which widened the gap just before half-time.

Italy struggles to capitalize on boxes

The scenario could have changed with two yellow cards received by the All Blacks – Barrett in the 18th minute and Lomax in the 49th.

Despite this temporary numerical advantage, Italy failed to convert these opportunities into points, multiplying errors in crucial moments.

An end to the match controlled by New Zealand

The last ten minutes of the match saw the All Blacks establish their supremacy with two tries, coming from Telea then from Barrett.

Menoncello's try for Italy offered only a brief boost of hope before New Zealand ended hopes of a comeback with a score of 29-11.

This New Zealand victory comes after a solid run during the autumn tour and allows the All Blacks to redeem themselves following their recent defeat against France.

Scott Robertson's players can thus leave Europe with a feeling of accomplishment, while Italy, although defeated, shows promise and areas for improvement before the Six Nations Tournament.

In short, although the Italians displayed great aggression and a desire to match the All Blacks, the difference in level and experience was palpable on the pitch in Rome.

This victory leaves the All Blacks with a taste of satisfaction while Italy, despite the defeat, will be able to learn lessons for its next rugby challenges.
