It was all going horribly wrong for Italy as they trailed Uruguay by 10 points at the break in their Rugby World Cup pool match this morning but a halftime reckoning got them back on track before they powered to a 38-17 victory.
The All Blacks play Italy next Saturday before rounding out pool play against Uruguay a week later.
Meanwhile, former All Blacks prop Charlie Faumuina looks set to play his first World Cup match for Samoa after being named on the bench for Saturday's clash with Argentina.
