Nasty tackle from Tupaea, that was almost a croc roll in the end.

France playing themselves to a standstill a bit. Ends in a knock from a poor pass. AB defense holding well.

Phew...France banging on the door

ABs look a little dazzled at the moment

Finally the ABs get a penalty...but then they chuck in skew from the lineout

Man this is a good contest. Punches and counter punches. All Black defense being tested but holding.

Penalty in front France. ABs doing well not to allow the French to find a rhythm, it's relentless but not smooth from the French.

ABs penalised right under their posts now. They should take 3 here...opt for points

ABs fracturing the French defense. They look far more threatening ball in hand then the French right now, finding gaps and momentum while the French are grinding for yards in their attacks. Poor option on the tryline tanks the AB attack.

Agreed.

My feeling was that France would need a lead into the half but the ABs are holding them
