1 day ago International Rugby Six favours the All Blacks need from Santa's little helpers
I only have a few things on my list of rugby Christmas wishes from Santa this year. None of them are too much to ask, either.
Italy face off against All Blacks in Internationals on Sat 23rd November 2024 at Allianz Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 20:10 and is broadcast on TNT Sports, Discovery+. In South Africa it’s at 22:10 SAST, 09:10 NZST on Sky Sport, Sky Sport Now, Sky Go in New Zealand, 07:10 AEST on Stan Sport in Australia and 12:10 EST in the US.
All Blacks won the last encounter but All Blacks are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture, All Blacks sits at 2 in the World Rugby Rankings, while Italy holds 10.
The two sides are separated by 8 places in the rankings with Italy in position 10 and All Blacks in position 2 as such All Blacks are favourites on paper.
The official squads for Italy vs All Blacks will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
