All Blacks struggle in 29-11 win over Italy

In a scrappy 29-11 victory over Italy in Turin, the All Blacks ended their 2024 campaign with lingering questions about their consistency and execution.

Despite late tries from Mark Tele’a and Beauden Barrett inflating the scoreline, the match highlighted familiar issues, including struggles against Italy’s disruptive defense and a lack of second-half dominance—a recurring theme of the season.

Key moments included Barrett’s deft pass for Tele’a’s try and Ethan de Groot’s groundwork for Cam Roigard’s score, but yellow cards for Scott Barrett and Anton Lienert-Brown reflected disciplinary lapses.

Italy spirited play was capped by a try from Tommaso Menoncello.
