ABs - Destroying the French twats!

Savea ............ the smallest & best loose forward in world rugby.

France starting the second like they started the first.

Ramos blows a potential 2 man overlap…I get Jalibert’s frustration. But France score.

And they maul it over from the lineout.

Ramos converts. 17-17. 

Jalibert is definitely a bigger threat. Imagine if they had him on the bench here.

Bit of a pointless kick from Beauden. All Blacks getting the ball to their danger men, strong run by Clarke.

The slow lob was the wrong option there for the All Blacks, there was a two on one if they put it through the hands.

And now Beauden boots it away. All Blacks not showing the necessary patience on attack.

Now if that offload had stuck they were through, but it's France who scores at the other end.

Bielle-Barry scores after a kick through by Ramos. Sevu Reece inexplicably gave up on the chase.  

France cash in on another NZ error

Again the All Blacks just rushing and forcing things and this time they pay for it.

France look a different team in this second half.

Error from France gets NZ a lineout in the 22,  they need to capitalize.

Not surprised Reece is yanked. DMac is on, I assume either he or Beauden will go to fullback and Jordan moves to the wing.

And they lost their lineout.

And again, Williams through on a brilliant line and then forces the offload and the ball goes forward.

Penalty All Blacks and DMac will go for poles . . . it's over. 24-20 to France.

So will that French player get a red for the head contact on his own player?

Man that's a tough call for obstruction on NZ.

27-20

Ollivon demonstrates again tall guys can be effective on the deck with a brilliant turnover

DMac kicks another penalty. 27-23.

And French steal it on the deck ending another NZ attack that got within 2 m of the line.

NZ making all the play but they just can't get over the tryline.

Cortez Ratima slow and hesitant again. Attacking scrum to France.

Jordan saves NZ with the intercept.

French defense is outstanding.

Another penalty to the ABs which DMac kicks to make it a 1 point game. France lead 27-26.

Ratima knocks on. He's having another nightmare.

Sititi wins the penalty at the breakdown. All Blacks can get back on the attack now.

Difficult ball though.

Tuingaasi gives away a penalty for a neck roll . . . Ramos will kick this to restore a 4 point lead . . . it's over. 30-26. He doesn' t miss.

It's been a while since I've seen tackling like the French in the second half. 30-26 as Ramos slots a penalty.

Now it's a penalty to the All Blacks, do they have time to kick one? Yes, DMac goes for poles. It's over. 30-29.

Now a penalty to NZ. Going for poles, it better be over. Bi g call.
