Historically, the All Blacks average almost 60 points when they play Italy, but Kieran Crowley’s men have adopted an exciting style of play in the 2023 World Cup, scoring 12 tries in just two games. Can they topple the mighty All Blacks?
Fiji are on the verge of making the quarter-finals for the third time after Australia’s hefty loss to Wales propelled the islanders to second place in Pool C.
Coming off the back of a draw with 16th-ranked Portugal, Georgia have it all to do against the flying Fijians to keep alive their hopes of a surprise top two-finish.
