Check out how to watch New Zealand v Italy in a Rugby World Cup 2023 match, including TV details and more. <\/p>
New Zealand face Italy in a must-win Pool A showdown that could be the pick of the Rugby World Cup matches in the fourth weekend of games.<\/p>\n
The Kiwis, having lost the opening match against hosts France, bounced back with a routine high-scoring win against Namibia.<\/p>\n
Italy sit second in the group having beat both Namibia and Uruguay with a bonus point, and if they manage to get either a try or losing bonus point against the All Blacks, they\u2019ll maintain second place \u2013 making the final week of group games rather interesting.<\/p>\n
New Zealand will be expected to claim a bonus point win against Italy and deny their opponents of one themselves.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll need to score enough, and concede little, to overtake Italy on points difference, as even a five-point win won\u2019t be enough to dislodge the Azzuri.<\/p>\n
To say this will be a walk in the park for the Kiwis would be to ignore all the disappointment and various lows they\u2019ve managed under Ian Foster\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n
In contrast, Italy beat Australia for the first time last year and won away to Wales, setting new heights for them.<\/p>\n
The indomitable aura that the All Blacks once had has been eroded, and Italy will step into this game knowing that all the pressure is on their opponents.<\/p>\n
