The All Blacks are starting to take control of this game, they are playing with a much higher intensity at the breakdown and this is costing the French.

Michalak has a chance to get the first points of the game but his effort hits the post. The French don't react and Read breaks through and runs 50 yards. Aaron Smith produces a kick which puts Medard in trouble and he is penalised. Cruden has an effort from 25 yards out and strikes it over. 10-0 to New Zealand.

Possession:
New Zealand: 50%
France: 50%

Both sides putting in some big hits in this first 10 minutes. Even enough game so far just Savea's try that separates the sides.

Try New Zealand! Brilliant weighted chip through by Nonu goes to Savea who runs in to score the first of this game. Cruden gets the conversion , 7-0 to New Zealand after 5 minutes.

We've gone to the TMO as Savea has gone over for New Zealand but the referee is checking first.

New Zealand are currently performing the Ha'ka , kick off is moments away.
