SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 2, 2023 | SaltWireLYON, France - New Zealand were understandably buoyant after a brilliant display in their 96-17 victory over Italy at the Rugby World Cup last week but one 10-minute patch of play has been the subject of some concern in the camp.
Normal service was resumed soon afterwards as the three-time world champions ran in 14 tries to put one foot into the quarter-finals ahead of their final Pool A match against Uruguay. " you would have noticed, just after halftime, we got a bit sloppy. We thought our discipline was really good in that first half and then just for a little part there, we kind of slipped off.New Zealand have good reason for being a little nervous about discipline after a rash of penalties and yellow cards in their three games preceding the Italy clash, including in their 71-3 pummelling of Namibia in their second pool game.
"If you're going to keep building your performances, and that's what it's about, we are more focused on performance than on the 14 tries or the big win."
