Black on Blue tonight, with a fairly forgone conclusion, but will Italy put up a fight or give a HT scare? Find out later!

Ugh. Azzurri need to find some momentum here.

Its tough, to get momentum from the ABs when they're in this mood you have to cause the game momentum to cease. There's a reason France, SA etc draw games out as long as possible against the ABs. Stop/start takes away their rhythm and if you can back that up by milking penalties they start to rush things when they do have ball in hand.

Yeah, they're looking at a record defeat currently
