Cruden yet to get his kicking right, as another bad strike leads to another missed penalty. The penalty coming from the scrum as Luc Ducalcon is penalised for boring in. Early dominance for the AB's at scrum time but France remain in the lead.

Yessss

Go abs

Straight from the kickoff France are guilty of being offside, but Cruden pulls the penalty attempt badly to miss. Score remains 7-0 to France, 14 minutes gone.

Superb try by France - Fofana the real deal

9 minutes gone and the French snatch the first try of the game. Cane and Nonu collide in midfield to give Fritz a gap around half way which he races through. He then does well to fix the last man before handing the ball to Fofana to finish. Machenaud adds the extras.

5 minutes gone and were off to a lively start. Having held possession for the first two minutes the All Blacks are turned over by Domingo, allowing the French clear their lines. The French then get a chance to attack, culminating in a missed drop goal from Lopez from 35 metres out. Scores remain level.

Hello and welcome to coverage of the first match of France's three match series against the All Blacks. The All Blacks have named a fresh faced side, with a number of exciting but inexperienced players on show. The French side however is wholly different, somewhat an unknown quantity with many combinations linking up for the first time. In what will be a repeat of the 2011 World Cup final, we are surely in for an exciting and unpredictable encounter.

Less than an hour to kick off now. Go All Blacks

All Blacks all the way
