Friday's first game will be in Pool A of the Rugby World Cup with New Zealand v Italy. The action will kick off at 8 p.m. at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
Matthew Carley will be the man in charge of this one, and he will have a hand from Nic Berry and Christophe Ridley on the touchlines. Manning the TMO bunker will be Brett Cronan.
The two sides are no strangers to each other, given they have been in the same Rugby World Cup pool in five times out of the eight tournaments and have met on the pitch a total of 15 times. Italian rugby fans, look away, because in that time, the All Blacks have won every single encounter, including a 47-9 thrashing in the last head-to-head. History has a firm favourite for this encounter, but can the Europeans put together an unprecedented piece of drama that sends shockwaves across the rugby world? Let's take a look with my New Zealand v Italy prediction.

🔍 New Zealand v Italy Winner Prediction
Fans and rugby pundits alike will already have some kind of feeling at the potential winner of this match, but are there any factors which may show that the actual case may be different?
The world rankings place New Zealand in fourth and Italy in 12th, so it would appear that our first indicator sides no differently than with the general opinion.
Form in the Rugby World Cup tells a different tale, however. The All Blacks have thus far played two matches in the group, against France and against Namibia, losing their first, 27-13 and drubbing their second opposition, 71-3. Italy, meanwhile, have won both of their matches, against Namibia in the first round and against Uruguay in their last match, coming up trumps 52-8 and 38-17 respectively. An argument could be made about the class of Italy's opponents in both of those games, but it still must be said that they are in good form.
As this is a must-win match for both teams, I imagine that New Zealand will be giving no quarter to their counterparts and will throw all of their strength at Italy in order to bowl them over. We've heard already that New Zealand are looking to field their first team in this one, so Italy, beware! Having said that, the Europeans will be no push-overs, but I can not conceive them weathering the maelstrom that the Kiwis will bring. Due to this, I think the All Blacks will take this home by 35 points.

✔️ New Zealand v Italy Betting Tips
1️⃣ Match Winner: New Zealand to Win
I suppose it could be worse, perhaps at 1.01, but odds of New Zealand to win at 1.02 at Betway are still dismal for me. Let's move on.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: New Zealand to Win (-32.5)
Here is the market that intrigues me the most. As I think the All Blacks are going to hand out a 35-point pasting, I am strongly tempted by New Zealand to win (-32.5) at 2.75 at Betway. That is almost three times your money returned if the All Blacks do the business, but beware! The Italians don't even have to win or be close for you to lose your bet - even a 32-point loss would spoil your day, so be very careful about what you are willing to bet.
