We arrived around 7:00pm and managed to get the food and drinks out in time for the 7:35 kick off. The only thing good about the game was the All Blacks winning 27-6. They played very poorly (all the stats were for the Italians) and after the game I found that the Italians are a tier two team which should have been soundly beat by at least 50 points!
That led to an interesting education about the All Blacks and Rugby in general. There are only about a half dozen teams which are reasonable contenders for the Rugby world cup. With three that are at the top - All Blacks, Australia, and South Africa. The rest of them well they are like Italy and best described as practice fodder.
