The All Blacks are facing off against Italy tomorrow morning, both teams vying for a place in the quarterfinals. 

The odds are in favour of the All Blacks, and they must win this game to ensure they move forward. 

Newstalk ZB’s voice of rugby, Elliott Smith, told Mike Hosking that Italy aren’t that good.  

He said people have tried to talk them up by saying that they beat Australia last year but considering Australia’s poor showing last week it’s not that impressive. 

Smith said Italy hasn’t gotten closer than 10 points in 32 years, and he can’t see that changing tomorrow.
