Italy take on All Blacks in Rome rugby match.

The All Blacks, New Zealand’s national rugby team, will play a test match against Italy in Rome's Olympic Stadium at 15.00 on 12 November.

It will be the second time that the All Blacks have played in Rome's 72,000-seater stadium, following the 2012 match which they won 42-10.

The All Blacks played against Italy in 2009, in Milan’s S. Siro stadium, winning 20-6. The formidable squad from down under also played in Rome in 2004 at the Flaminio Stadium – no longer being used by the Federazione Italiana Rugby (FIR) – when they hammered Italy 59-10.

The champion team is known for performing the fearsome “haka” (a traditional Māori challenge) before each international match.
