Published: Sept. 28, 2023, 8:27 p.m.

The All Blacks are facing off against Italy tomorrow morning, both teams vying for a place in the quarterfinals.\xa0

The odds are in favour of the All Blacks, and they must win this game to ensure they move forward.\xa0

Newstalk ZB\u2019s voice of rugby, Elliott Smith, told Mike Hosking that Italy aren\u2019t that good. \xa0

He said people have tried to talk them up by saying that they beat Australia last year but considering Australia\u2019s poor showing last week it\u2019s not that impressive.\xa0

Smith said Italy hasn\u2019t gotten closer than 10 points in 32 years, and he can\u2019t see that changing tomorrow. \xa0
