Game has slowed down , France are coming into the game more now. Bastaraud is on now for France. New Zealand have brought on Ranger, Wipu and Hore.
Go Matthieu!
Aaron Cruden has extended New Zealand's lead to 20 points. 55 minutes gone , the score is 20-0 to the All Blacks.
Bring on Bastareaud!
Try New Zealand! The French will be very disappointed with this. After 26 phases in the New Zealand 5 metre line, Michalak makes a bizarre decision to go for a drop goal and it is charged down , the ball falls to Savea who makes a break and runs 60 yards and pops the ball to Ben Smith who has an easy run from 20 yards to go under the posts. That will hurt the French.
Half time at Christchurch and the score is 10-0 to New Zealand. The All Blacks have dominated this half from start to finish and deserve their lead. New Zealand have played the game in France's half and have put the French under enormous pressure. France have made too many handling errors so far and have practically given New Zealand the ball. Can France turn this around? Or will New Zealand see this game through? 2nd half starting shortly.
Nonu goes close for New Zealand but he is pushed out into touch. 32 minutes gone and the French are struggling.

France have struggled to get out of their half so far, struggling to deal with the All Blacks at the moment.
