Suck it France! That guy is gonna get benched

Ultimate Rugby Jun 6

An incredible play from France nearly yields a try. The impressive Plante scythes through another gap, bringing play to the 22 before giving the ball inside to Fritz, who is tackled just before the line. Fritz gives a low offload to Picamoles, but with the line at his mercy he cant collect the ball, and knocks it on over the line. 16 minutes to play.

After France fail to take their opportunity moments ago, New Zealand, courtesy of another free kick at the scrum, get into French territory. Picamoles is pinged for playing the ball on the deck. Cruden converts.

France gather the lineout, but the New Zealand goal line defence is solid. Eventually the ball is trapped and the French are awarded a scrum, where they are again pinged and the AB's clear their lines. 25 mins left.

Great kick from Lopez turn the New Zealand defence around, forcing Savea to put the ball out near his own line. Lineout to come for France.

Good period of pressure from the French, carries from Fofana and Nyanga especially getting them good territory. Doussain darts from the ruck and is tackled by Romano, who fails to release the man, and the French are awarded a penalty. Lopez, taking over the kicking duties, slots his first effort on goal. 48 minutes gone.

Off turnover ball Nonu runs at the French defence, bursting through the line into space, where he feeds Aaron Smith. Smith cuts back inside before handing it off to Cane , who gets over the line. Cruden adds the extras to restore his sides lead.
