Australia will take on Italy in the Rugby World Cup at the Totally Wicked Stadium (St Helens) on October 29. Following victories against Fiji and Scotland, Australia has almost assured its place in the quarterfinals with a solid points differential of +118. With a victory over Scotland in their opening match, Italy has two points in Group B. They were defeated by Fiji by a score of 60-4 last week in Newcastle. Mal Meninga, the coach of Australia, stated after his team defeated Scotland: “I’m really satisfied with the performance. We won’t get ahead of ourselves because it’s still early, but I can’t fault anything. I believed we performed admirably. We had a plan when we arrived, and we followed it. In those circumstances, our ball control was outstanding.
It doesn’t get any easier, according to Italy’s coach Leo Epifania. Just keep giving it your all, lads, and attempt to contain some of these outstanding squads. Limiting their possibilities is essential, as is not becoming complacent. We must be aggressive in bringing our defense to bear on other teams. I simply want to be pleased with their efforts, and I believe they will too. The BBC is airing every match from the wheelchair, men’s, and women’s World Cup competitions. The defending champs are likely to prevail in this game. Italy has a 33/1 chance of winning this match, according to Planet Sport Bet. That’s a lot to ask.
