3 top performers from Italy vs New Zealand
- 1688
New Zealand romped to a 68-10 win over Italy in Rome and unsurprisingly, 3 New Zealands stood out.
Malakai Fekitoa
This beast of a 13 made life hell for Italy using his size and pace to cut holes through the Italian defence on numerous occasions. Fekitoa also grabbed two tries for himself as was our man of the match.
Damian McKenzie
The 21 year old fullback proved he deserves a place in the All Black set up looking very comfortable in the 15 jersey. McKenzie kicked out of hand well and often slotted into the first receiver position acting as a second ten for the All Blacks. Big things to come from this guy.
Elliot Dixon
The 6'4 back row had an impressive performance and seemed to pop up everywhere in this game. Dixon bringing his physical presence had a number of impressive carries and was rewarded for his efforts as he bagged himself a try towards the end of the game.
