touch up near the halfway off the restart a Blockbuster premere of the greatest rugby Show on Earth and to the sounds of Al libla Cody Taylor will throw the first line [Applause] out of the [Applause] match he takes his time and he finds the double World cut winner Sam white lock in Midfield and there's a short ball to Rico Yani bursting through the middle into the French 22 what a start for New Zealand hot on attack already an on Leonard Brown and now Bowden Barrett the fullback for the All Blacks what a break from Yani go go penalty New Zealand over that was a great running line but it was the pass they had decoy Runners out the back door and they isolated the Midfield of front and they go quick the All Blacks looking to force the initiative Aaron Smith they've got the penalty Advantage as well New Zealand there's the ball there's the ball Ball's available MOA Barrett works the cross kick to markia sits up for him and he scores for New Zealand what a start for the All Blacks a try inside 2 minutes in the World Cup opener well he made his debut in no last year mark but he's made himself an integral part of this all black unit because of situations like this keeps his composure waits for the bounce under D it was a great kick pass from bod Barrett to execute it it takes a lot Under Pressure to do that what a start New [Applause] Zealand Mark Zia he hasn't been around all that long as you say latching on at the cross kick from Bowden Barrett brilliant from the New Zealand fullback being there done it two time World rugby player of the year but it was the attitude they got the penalty quickly did New Zealand and they took the quick tap they didn't allow the French defense to get set and from there they had another penalty Advantage went right straight away because they knew the defense was Conant and they were able to execute Richie moang keeping 75% off the in test matches in 2023 from wide outs just slides by so it will remain 5 nothing look at that bow and Barrett new head numbers on the outside try to get it on the full but Mark T was good enough now the slow walk back here for France obviously a very long time to go in this game what is their reply so a response required from France after that early try samlock his 20th alltime World Cup game for the New Zealand great second rower there's Alon POA in the seven shirt in the place of Sam Kane and it's a penalty to France got it Mar was the number two the hooker straight over that ball brilliant work from him that's the response that France wanting I think they'll go for the three-o and as a good call by to skip up just cool things down a little bit yeah big story coming in the absence of the can Captain Sam Kane po Le started his test Guru as an open side flanker here's a kick off beautifully taken by Sam white loock they sent two players around to stop it that was a good low tackle from W with allowed the hooker Mar to get over that ball perfect technique to Ramos has been kicking brilliantly this year up in 90% test matches this [Applause] season Ramos to close the gap to two points it straight down the inen 53 New Zealand lead France just before the 5 minute mark That's any indication man we are in for one that's for sure both teams have scored each time they've been in the 22 of the opposition Bowden Barrett gets us back underway he goes long down to aldr who gives it to DuPont's captain big kick from the scrum half but New Zealand go quickly here's Bowden Barrett again younger brother Jordy unavailable for this game with injury will Jordan on The Chase and falling with the contest in the air was Tom Ramos both in a position to play that ball you heard the voice of the referee both in a position to play it fair Collision in the [Applause] air moang a Bowden Barett again slightly shorter high kick this time Gavin vilier is underneath it for France no more and now they can play with the ball in half charl olivon good quick ball for dupon it'll chip over the top the jalab just evades him bounces away from the French fly half good Innovation there from France no in well they were unlucky cuz there was some space here there was Greenery fortunate the bounce doesn't go the home team's way but if it did the All Blacks are in trouble they're exposed there just for a second in the back Field aial contact both players go hands one thing that's very apparent already is the length of exit from the French team going very long and I don't think this is out hasn't found touch Richie M so Ramos here B straight down the tram lines back to the all black fly half here's will Jordan he's been outstanding in the tri scoring departments for New Zealand Mr prolific for this all black side Barrett long cut out ball to tayer again but it's drifted forward what New Zealand are trying to do is go edge to edge they're not wanting to kick the ball back long to this French team so they're looking to expose him in the middle and then get the ball right quickly interesting too Carl Fus how much Bowden Barrett is in the game we often see him come in at first receiver but this double playmaker role and it's his voice too the that are so ingled to this all black team knows how to win these types of games don't close the gap Vision was there skill execution didn't hit the M first scrum this will be interesting you got two old boys a Wesley College on opposite sides here tonight in the front rows nepo laala for the All Blacks wi anonio Bard in New Zealand for France there he is enormous figure on the tigh head side standing up we'll have a reset he's in the grp who was Maring him for the no small unit as well my advice absolutely monstered physically this is the battle wasn't the battle wasn't it massive part of the French attack is getting piece don't close the gap we saw they did have a few problems in their final warm-up game a couple of weeks ago here in Paris against Australia a team not necessarily known for their dominance up front so they would have thought about that would have gone away worked on it need a good platform here B set solid platform for dupon to play but Smith is onto him like a flash good work from the New Zealand scrum half Ramos kicks again toia can't hold on to it gone backwards says the referee play on and markia perhaps a little fortunate crowd don't like the Call Comes away with it for New Zealand Barrett again at first receiver will Jordan with the kicking duties now Matia Jalel and just steady him himself and bring that one over the sideline I like that contest though Anon Pon versus Aaron Smith Aaron Smith takes round one there the ultra experienced player for the All Blacks so then hook of Cody Taylor going to wipe the ball it's stifling hot here in Paris this week as juliia Marsh looks like getting some attention the the French hookup yeah I think this is a yes the weather but B the speed of what you Ze playing at at the moment this are definitely a tactical thing just wrapping up the leg for Maron Ultra quick so far interly because of the elaborate opening ceremony we had before kickoff tonight players are only allowed on the field for about 20 minutes or so had to start their warm up indoors did get just compromise here in that clean out the mar first line up for New Zealand was good to went to Sam white lock does he call his own number [Applause] again Cody T seven titles with the Crusaders but it's the French number seven oliv who steals it turnover ball for France tupon Works The Blind Side to franois cross jalar cuts out flamont to Maron who's back on his feet TOS gone forward though on the floor so that's off for New Zealand big tackle from Scott Barrett he was the one that was targeted that line out time they got him front of him with the jump head line out did France he just shaking the head there m but it was a nice low hit from Scott Barrett to get that turnover back take advice talked about discipline during the week New Zealand of course they had those yellow cards one of it one of which became a red against South Africa in their penultimate War their final warm-up game as it looks like France might be looking to make a change here yes they are F he's going to try let's go it's on malaka who's on the sideline waiting to come on but Marshon wants to give it another go of course you don't want to come off on a game like this good he'll try as much as he can and this will be the tester for him they had a pretty solid one first up to France it was there ball now it's all black ball so there's Aaron Smith who's just surveying the FR defense little word to Richie Mo who's standing directly behind the scrum Bowden Barrett to his right lonard Brown to his left yeah early push from the French I think they'll bit worried after the first time Ball's not in let work H settle RI of course no seral by at the moment for France had that calf injury in a warm-up game to this tournament automatic First Choice normally is by so it's Wy who has to come in here on the loose head side remember this is a free kick so it can't be put out directly so wether New Zealand with Up and Under and they will make the change Mar disappointment for him a man who started the last 20 consecutive Six Nations games for France the man from too will be replaced by another tooo teammate P malaka who's on early for France New Zealand go high with the bomb off the free kick and that's dribbled over the sideline there's Super V twice theyve gone to Jordan with an Up and Under he's a supro in that department penalty G penalty yeah yeah I think Jordan was looking at the ball and saw like he took a player out there unsure contact him there before he can take it but to be fair is that the responsibility of will Jordan to pull out of that so both teams with some early opportunities just unable to take advantage field position xal he hasn't found touch either done a Richie there and in his own 22 he bangs that out in the full deep but dupon will give it back to Jal bear stop here's will Jordan again play run five can be brilliant on the counter attack decides the kick again though we've seen plenty of kicking so far in this contest already one on the angle from Ramos is Bowden Barrett run five play and a nice spiral from Barrett that has hasn't gone out though [Applause] so R just about stays in his 22 and puts that one over the sideline it'll be a a line out throw to New Zealand huge disappointment for Maron that left thigh you can see there very despondent isn't he hopefully it's not a tournament ending one for him had their injury issues Paul vson pulling out late of the World Cup 33 man squad that's will Jordan playing up at first receiver and putting his head down as Anton Leonard Brown vastly experienced player over 50 caps for New Zealand nice little short ball there from tup they work the short side Ari SAA as he often does drives the legs through contact out the back from White loock Bowden Barrett again rrio Yani damis and goes himself good tackle there from Anan dupon on Cody Taylor Scott Barrett he's hit hard by the new French hook of PTO malaka Barrett shifts it onto V there's a loose ball will Jordan's onto it chess passes it across to Mark TAA slightly off the cuff that from New Zealand that's the ball they do maintain the ball though white lock again will Jordan and chips over the top for himself his runs been checked play on says the referee Ramos kicks it down on the New Zealand 22 Bowden Barrett he found some good meters there's no one back actually for Manan dupon but a good kick that on that occasion from Bowden Barrett so much kicking so far in this contest yeah but the thing is it's been good kicking I think little chips in behind already seen a nice one from the FR saw a second one there from will Jordan for New Zealand finding space and greeny in fact of course these two sides met here in Paris back in 2021 well scored 40 points on that occasion what a breakaway here from P malaka he chips ahead his runs been checked as well the passes and home crowd want a decision they're not going to get it what they're going to get though was a goal line Dropout what about the set move from the front went to we pass the back to malaka in the chip kick for the replacement hook up great skills well he actually scored in that 40 to 25 Victory here two years ago PTO malva MO with the line out drop out to jalar on halfway here's alrp primary ball carrier for France jalar inside ball to Gavin viler good tackle from Ethan to group the loose head prop Ball's available for New Zealand and they're onto it flicked out by Aaron Smith slightly dangerous here but moong has it gives it to Mara he's been busy to try score goes on one of those angled runs so slippery but the ball's just gone forward on the floor again well it is very sticky this very humid tiia this is what he's there for that was Shifting The Ball B of ad rugbe from the All Blacks and then once markia gets the ball he's just so good with his footwork so strong we go look at the shot put on when aldr put hit it up Cody Taylor over the top goes over the ball and that's clean out by Antonio absolutely brutal Scott Barrett wearing 145 kg there I'm going to bring him you you stay there the tackle from Jal that's great defense from the first FL Jal and what he's done he set his team up and Prime attacking position here he's been busy Mark CA hasn't he try score a lot of the action's gone over to that Far Side touch line fine interesting setup defensively for New Zealand W directly behind the scrum stopping The Blindside move of France preempting oh here's a penalty number one number one pulling it down as the call from the referee that's one Ethan de gr decision goes against New [Applause] Zealand what do you do here for France do you take another shot at goal I think you have to Take the Lead well they're taking on water already these players as faan gate head coach of this French team T be pretty happy with the response from his side after that initial Blast from New Zealand for that first Tia try theyve worked themselves back into this contest that's for sure settled down pretty [Applause] quickly look at that yeah straight away Ean the gr's Under Pressure fair enough too yeah okay thank you he just lost his footing early didn't he Greg Fe scrum coach at this all black side be looking at that closely players taking on water already there will be official water breaks tonight given it's been so warm in Paris this week over 35° this week still pushing 30 Celsius here past 9:30 p.m. here local time [Applause] Tom Ramos to put France into the lead and he does so France six New Zealand five that's just a warning for New Zealand and they ill discipline they're going to have to be on in all aspects because Ramos is definitely on with a checking radar [Music] tonight we back underway Barrett again with the restart it's down to ALR outside now laa got the shoulder in but Al picked up another few yards there and use it tup in no hurry kicks off the base moang to Bowden Barrett that high kick in Midfield will Jordan on the chase but Ramos times is Jump well put on the deck by Jordan there's Cameron woki in the four shirt making sure they secure that ball born just down the road here from the stad to France north of the city center moang again back at the ball Ramos he's been furious at the back so far under the high ball for France and now the home team can try and get some ball carrying going that must had to play scrum half there flammer dup to Gale F ring 92 here to it no fi play in the nation's capital he's losing his footing with PTO malaka jalab to walki it's been hacked ahead play on says the referee back in New Zealand hands is Mark again he's going to kick and Tom Ramos this time has knocked the ball on and you don't see him do this very often just got his footwork caught up a little bit there when he was going back into position it was wasn't the best kick from Tia but it was effective in the end I just think the back R France is starting to impose himself a little bit Gregory ALR already two very good runs you give a guy a compliment next time he drops the ball Ramos he's had so much catching to do high balls awkward ones that one just got away from him this is a a guilt edged attacking opportunity for New Zealand engage on the I just like Anton Brown in these situations just so good he's got such a great decision making mind will they use him to hit up and then reform off that Richie moonga again straight behind the scrum in the pocket he'll be the back door or the secondary play out to bowm [Applause] Barrett New Zealand before that lost to the spring box in their world cup warm up they on an 11 test unbeaten run something of a Renaissance for New Zealand after a difficult 2022 Smith to Leonard Brown cuts out Yani here Bowden Barrett now good tackle from franois Cross good quick hands to moang from SAA New Zealand 10 met out looking for their second try papali Scott Barrett now Thunders through the first tackle good momentum for New Zealand away that's Lala with the ball [Applause] hardi svea the New Zealand Captain Ethan deg grutz now the big defense required here from France release release the big all black Heavies are coming just a couple of meters out New Zealand crowd getting behind their team here at the S the France toi offside France advantage is New Zealand Smith to Scott Barrett driving low Barrett he's over the line the ball's been lost forward but we will go back for the penalty Advantage Sal thinking about going [Applause] quickly Way New Zealand are using these intricate moves offset piece especially scrum way is causing confusion for this French team look at there's a lot of hands on hips from those players the French four and go here we go just got to go a little further in field here onto the mark So Cody Taylor has it and Ari SAA points to the posts and they will look to take the lead with the penalty behind my back that's the one I could see that's just the speed of play at the moment it's really stressing the defense of France we're really starting to struggle New Zealand get quick Ball even still a lot of hands on from behind the line yeah water break off this very impressed by yako Piper so far in his game has been very clear in his communication with both sides I think we have a water break after this last action here rer still very very warm here in haris this evening there's the shot clock well inside that Richie moang adds three points for New Zealand and they will take a break for water thank you on this stifling Night in Paris with a two-point lead in the World Cup opener can we go well 25 minutes in konana we've seen a lot of kicking but this heat here in Paris tonight starting to take its toll on a few of those players I think that's what New Zealand are hoping in terms of their game plan keeping the ball in play playing quick shifting it to the edges moving the ball quick Taps have to say at the moment but it's working as French for pack in particular really struggling in this heat not the most mobile P going along but the way New Zealand star got their try and the response from France BR let's go sign line with Lou Lou Ransom yeah thanks rert it's 101 isn't it when you're coming to play at a big stadium with a big home crowd you score first and you try and take them out of the game and that's what they did for maybe a few moments early on the All Blacks but this French crowd down here are just riding every single play almost willing them through every scrum and uh you know one resulted in a penalty of course so that helped them along and the conditions you guys have mentioned it a little bit it is hot it is just dropped below 30 30° but the humidity seems to just increase later on at night here we've experienced it here all week staying in the French capital and just a quick word on Sam Kane as well I spoke to the All Blacks team manager early on uh tonight and he said before kickoff he said Kane is out of tonight's match due to suffering a backs spasm at training yesterday and that his Omission is precautionary thanks Lou yeah we heard that the absence of of bro retalic he was fit wasn't picked originally in the 23 as well he is on the bench tonight plenty of tackles for France so far double New Zealand they missed a few as well 17 that's the concern rer 17 Miss tackles from the home side they want to rectify this in this next 20 minutes we're back underway after Refreshments Sam white loock climbs high again for New Zealand option well the number eight Al was a mile in front of that kick so this is why we're going to have the option from yo Piper yeah he was New Zealand number eight is too far in front and he puts pressure scrum here right back on halfway yeah that's a a give back from France not the way you want to start after a break now New Zealand have a Midfield scrum yo Piper is forced into this call because he had an influence on the chase to Gregory Al from important okay top carries in the Six Nations actually Captain France in a World Cup warm-up game against Fiji if you come forward they're going to keep moving come to my pleas L the middle an unforced era there from France so Aaron Smith can feed to this SC being solid so far bring him in the New Zealand set piece they had one hiccup at line out time the French got in front and stole their ball away from them but in particular the scrum as you spoke about the wallabies tested France two weeks ago and us coming into this game this will be an area that they want to really Target Jason Ryan the for coach for the blacks has been B uses this as one of their cornerstones coach Bine solid scrum from the All Blacks front rows down penalty France it's Ethan Gro number one's down who gets penalized once more an wining that battle at the moment two penalties in succession he's not happy with it there Ethan deg gr oh and he's going to get out the one wers Tomar Ras here we go on this side initially the hit is good and there he goes down malaka replacement hooker for France Marini Antonio born in New Zealand attended Wesley College in South ockland actually played rugby with nepo laala at school Wiley College the most famous product out of there would be one jonu well there's been a few wonderful rugby Nursery Tom Ramos has a chance from precise 50 m out [Music] here he's hit it very well indeed perfect off the te so far tonight from Ramos and France Take the Lead once more such an efficient kicking style do Ramos not a short follow through but man that is effective and Powerful 15 so 98 France lead New Zealand approaching 30 minutes all so hot tonight he usually wears a the head gear the scrum cap taken it off one no more coll dupon gets such good distance from his kicks off the base of the scrum new Zeal and go quickly again to Bowden Barrett he kicks it high and he'll Chase it himself r coming back for France but Barrett does brilliantly for the All Blacks chipped ahead byi sa behind Gavin viler valer he's got Rico Yani in front of him Yani does well two former World rugby sevens players against each other there Scott Barrett thinks about the long pass holds on to it the big second rower Anton Leonard Brown now cut out ball to moang gets on the outside a Walky Richie moang h markia good attacking opportunity again for New Zealand de Gro charges in the defense and loses possession there's D and Peno we haven't seen much of him so far he kicks the ball ahead and antoan Dupont is on the chase for France and Bowden Barrett just wins the race for New Zealand oh no and this oh I was about to say I thought a penalty was going to be given here bit of Afters and that ball went over but g to p this quick isn't he leading from the front again and what he's done with that little bit of kick Chase he given his team a throwing and Prime [Applause] position malaka [Applause] just hands up here they're calling France cross it you can adjust the Blindside flank referee allowed to adjust the line up before the balls come in you would have gone to a full line out now alritz joining as well he's just getting used to the extra numbers here from France okay time's back [Applause] on Walky wins it at the front and here's the the line out drive malva has it under control just breaks up slightly but it'll keep on going into the New Zealand 22 New Zealand trying to put them over the sideline here but dupal comes away with it to MOA who's playing in the inside Center position for France tonight Jonathan DTE unavailable no you're over the top two works the short side to Moana to fiku now Gale fiku real star over 80 test matches all time for him his French team I think there was a turnover there from one of the All Blacks and was deemed holding on second man in which is Sam white lock they will they will Sam white loock there you heard the instruction from the referee leave it alone C he had rights white lot course vastly experienced player the most capped all black lock of all [Applause] time here it is here there the hands on the ball from a New Zealand player reag I think turn was so that turnover is fine and the ball is up there told to leave it alone now the crowd gets up roots oh it's bouncing now sense an opportunity here to add some points off the boot of Ramos kicking has been exceptional so far perhaps trying to encourage them to kick to the corner [Applause] there normally so far he's been guaranteed points ra so this is the only decision in this moment shot up there just 5 seconds left on it needs to get a rle on Ramos perhaps hurried by the the shot clock there has missed his first kick of the evening I agree with you totally agree with you he knew he was close to the zeros so just rush Rush his approach just a little bit still not out of trouble here though New Zealand yeah shot clock a new innovation say rugby penalty count 5-3 against the All Blacks want to look after that discipline area they did have problems of course against sou Africa in that record test defeat at twickham a couple of weeks ago that was just a warm-up though this is the real thing and slightly hurried by Gregory ALR MOA finds touch great effort play though from the number eight from France he was the only one chasing hard and he's got the rewards wasn't the best clearance from Richie moong and now it's their throw out again in great position before on the other side of the field they went to the driving Mall what do they do here they got a onepoint Advantage but it's New Zealand's turned it steal the line out it was white loock perhaps making up for the the penalty that went against him a few moments ago here viler hit hard by papali Fu would scram half to oliv char olivon Captain France 14 times another important leader of this team approaching the final 5 minutes of this first half it's been Cy it's been tense New Zealand with the opening try France with the three penalties Bowden Barrett up to the halfway line here's his brother Scott excellent ball carrying from Big Scott Barrett getting good yards for New Zealand there carried on by La brother Casey lived for a long time in Paris played for wrestling 92 here Richie moang threw the hands to Yani on the ball always looking to find the space Yani the pick and go from T once more but it's France who stolen it away his Dy and penno he doesn't want to kick these Maisy runs he goes on gives it to his fullback Ramos long kick over the head of Bowden [Applause] Barrett inside and a lovely spiral touch finder from the New Zealand fullback and their turnover came from the bra again effort play Gregory aldr he took his medicine when he had to do it but jeez Tia takes it off the base and number eight comes in look at him goes down over the ball gets a shot from Papa and turns the ball over brilliant technique give me numbers six tackles already in the match for that man 42 carry meters he is a Workhorse of this French team let him come yeah get it well I think he's been the guy that's really kept this French team in this first for couple of carries when they're under pressure just to get the go forward couple of effort plays to put pressure on the kick from New Zealand been effective now he's got a turnover as well he still only 26 years of age his 43rd test cap for France tonight so crucial for them Mal vaka who's impressed since coming off the bench the previous lineup didn't work out though this time uncontent Ed Walky brings it [Applause] down tupon just runs off the base a few yards then kicks and gets good distance as well and again that spiral touch finder from Bowden Barrett Ramos has read this one he throws it into himself nicely done stop from the too fullback on a top 14 title earlier in the year would to lose on this very round there's been a very different change in tactic the second 20 minutes of this first half New Zealand weren't trying to kick it out initially they're trying to play quick go to the edge with ball in hand now they're happy enough to go to the set piece to slow it down a little [Music] bit Anan dup off back swap it's off back swapping no problem Flamel at the front Al well read that by Ethan deg good energy from the New Zealand loose head had a few difficulties at scrum time so far this evening dupon kicks again valer chasing but won't get there in time Barrett has it good tackle on him from franois cross chop the New Zealand full back to the floor here's tiia again just goes looking for work so often coming in off his left wing SAA to moang bit of space here now for moang in New Zealand beautiful ball over the top to will Jordan it's dalon papal in fact into the French [Applause] 22 Saia [Applause] again white loock New Zealand would dearly love to score points before halftime trailing France by Point here they work The Blind Side leonnard Brown there's Bowden Barrett again at PACE there's will Jordan laala in his 50th test match they work The Blind Side again Cody Taylor [Applause] now Aaron Smith to Ari sa again they work the short side quick hands for from Cody Taylor perhaps just losing a little patience there yeah and just a shake of the head look at that lot of hands on hips again from this French outfit for the All Blacks through their skill execution just not there that last pass didn't hit the mark just releasing the valve a little bit clear clear Gap give me [Music] numbers hasn't played much in the buildup to this Rugby World Cup the test matches in the warm-ups Cody Taylor long line out defensive throw from France well executed no stay there of course the New Zealand players have to stay back the the mandatory 10 from that lineup Rock no so we're at the 40-minute mark this is the final play and with a one-point lead Tom Ramos who's kicked all of France's points so far puts it over the end line and will take us the halim mark TOA open the scoring in just a second minutes of them the All Blacks walking back out into the stat of France trailing France by a point Ari svea made captain of this match after the late withdrawal from of Sam Kane in conversation there with Sam white loock another captain of this New Zealand team in recent times Gana alongside on cometry what do you think the messages would have been to this New Zealand team at the break well I think in particular be all around their discipline the points have given away couple of them have been at scrum time so I'm sure that's something the coaches would have addressed Ramos has been so good A Team set goal so they won't want to give them any opportunities no easy outs will also be a CAU andan dupon and France back out onto the field they had an extraordinary record coming in to this world cup only been behind at the interval five times in their last 54 test matches under Fabian GTI and they've done it again in this match orbe it by just a point yeah even though it feels like the All Blacks have been in control and been down the French end a number of times they scrambled defense has been pretty good even though they' missed 22 tackles and they still lead this game I think physically they need to impose themselves maybe slow the ball down but ald he has been fantastic and at the center of it 42 carry meters 10 tackles a turnover from ald outstanding first half from the France number eight you say yes okay [Music] okayu and AR sa enormous night with the New Zealand number eight leading his team out here in this world cup opener and it'll be MAA jalab an enormous responsibility on his shoulders that fly half for France in this World Cup as it goes forward off New Zealand hands and France have it early in this second half here's Cameron Walky dyamic second arow RI from larell gets away from one tackle and another the bearded loose head finally put on the [Applause] ground Char oliv on now papal looks for the steel doesn't get it yeah back from Antonio loose pass from jalab in front of fiku and Damian Peno though will run Crossfield he does this a lot and quite often he finds a way through good tackle there from papal but still alive for France crowd rising to the occasion once more and look at alri go inside ball brilliant from the number eight Tom Ramos now at scrum half twinkling feet from the too fullback Al rings around s the France but it's a penalty to New Zealand yeah from the side I think it was on the opposite side of the field this is a call from the assistant referee Del on pap was the recipient of that shot you can see there his right shoulder is just down a little bit but aldr again okay so causing problems for New Zealand Al en the Chase from viler I think it was number 16 in fact the replacement hooker Mo vaka who was the one singled out what a start to the second half by the home team coming with some Venom liftting Energy wasn't it it was Francois cross who was penalized chip over the top for will Jordan brilliant skill from Jordan looking for a support Runner doesn't find one good tackle from viler they look for the steel Now France double clutch from Mo over the top to toia New Zealand looking for another try tiia has a double I'm in line almost conceding at their own end they score first [Applause] again I think it was Rico Yani with the pass and New Zealand from defense turn it into attack line out was good chiping behind from Aris Saia to will Jordan Jordan was looking for support made the right call support players here quickly Scott Barrett with the clearance and then the double pump from Rico Yani out to the tri score and tiia will get [Applause] two well a lot of people wonder why the likes of Caleb Clark and Lester anuku can't make this all black team that's why on side kick tiia scores tries play on agreed just to reiterate the TMO has looked at their pass has given it the all clear so TR [Applause] stands 139 Mo looking to add an extra couple of points difficult kick [Music] [Applause] the whistles for moang and they do the job as that one slides by as well deep breath from the great one Richie mcco there's a double pump there's the flat line the crow just in the replay they do not like it but it was AOK back underway 139 New Zealand in [Applause] front finding their way over the tri line very early early on in each half use it n of course use it Tak back and Aaron Smith for almost the first time tonight kicks off the base for New Zealand but dupon has it Jordan's onto him Ramos not for the first time either goes in place SC half is RI he had a Lely start to this second half jalar he decides to chipon says the referee nothing in that nothing wrong Ramos sees some space over on the far side but perhaps didn't see will [Applause] Jordan why players step into the defender nothing wrong by the f Barrett thinks about the quick line out to tier but holds on now that is how you exit Jal that is an absolutely massive kick look that's a meter away from New Zealand 22 I'm sure they'll pressurize this throw here the French [Applause] team G Fine 22 M line to 22 met line there from J Saia to PVA loses the ball in contact France have it again no no big responsibility for two tonight and for Tio flam look at the big second row a go gets the ball away dupon has it tiia looks for The Intercept Advantage is coming jeez they were lucky here the old blacks that was a great hit but tupo with the drop ball to goes for the interception that's okay it was a genuine attempt yep here's the drop ball he just had a little look up at the defensive line didn't he before securing the ball the had numbers look at that break good decision here I thought he's could have kept it try to give that 50/50 Ball but I like the way flamont just changed his angle in line to get yards hook they've called it a genuine attempt at an intercept there from Mark so it's just a knock on referee said before the contest they're going to allow players to try and intercept the ball if they make a concerted effort won't be a penalty so Mark T knocked that ball on or just hit it so there was no attempt then that would have been a very different story but still in a very good attacking position here this French team they are looking for their first fine to the match on to the half first try of the match front rows are down that's a messy old scrum there little reset what's interesting there twice it looks like they're pulling out Antonio the number three the hit is good and then they just fold and go back one again so it's putting the front row of New Zealand with pressure you see they're just having a talk now he's shifting himself because Ethan de gr can't stay there there's own one one way he can go and that's down a bit of trickery from Antonio but I think he's been warned right [Applause] now wouldn't mind team more F in the situation we haven't C his number too much but in jersey number 12 he is very good sh on the sideline there ran for perhaps preparing to come on for France watch has h on this angle this will be a good shot of it the initial hit is good two penalties already against Ethan the gr and it's a free kick to France keep your balance keep your balance that was a balance think rather than 41 well they're talking about technically come again hold your balance hold your balance n is just going to talk about that fact too the FR are trying to shift the point has been unstable right from the jump and they will make a change it'll be Cameron Walky get to the side line for Roman T fua his 45th test cap for France he's missed a few games in the warm up good effort from walkie for the opening 48 OD minutes of this match very good walkie done everything it's been asked him why his coach very good at his core responsibilities yeah with Paul vill are pulling out of this tournament with a hamstring issue big responsibility for walk he Dum well locks so War wait in this scrum now with Big T in there on the the tight side of this French front eight oh the home Crown starting to bounce getting in behind the [Applause] side tupon feeds it they're going to go Blindside Not For the First Time Smiths onto Dupont poo sets up the breakdown here's aldr again out Ball's loose franois cross reacts well he's got it first but New Zealand have it or do they the the ball the ball yeah comes out of that breakdown Smith reacts and gives it to Richie moang a little dummy sees a half Gap door closes Yani again after that assist for Mark TOA a little while ago referee just gets in the way of that ball almost comes loci here they're going to have to set a scrum here touch me the frenal yeah the French team are really pressurizing at the breakdown to getting up quickly he are legally behind the high most foot [Applause] his head but there's the clan and the ball is out so that's something I think they really been very good at the home team tonight getting line speed especially at that breakdown play Roman T formerly and P Karim gazal there break down coach for France remember New Zealand have given away two penalties at the scrum in the first half they can ill afford to give away points here the scrum coach Williams Ser he patrols the sideline lik to get up close and personal defensive scrum here for New Zealand stable and enough for Barrett but that one slies off the side of the [Applause] Poots looks like one of the FR second rolls is down oh no it Antonio yeah we atonio in back play just had a shot getting some treatment he's back on his feet show your numbers clearly the humidity the amount of tackles I think the French know they need some injection dur Al replacement T prop he's looking like he might be coming on as well as Z no changes just yet might see some front row replacements for New Zealand as well Acrobat tap onehanded by charl [Applause] olival now vaker again he wants to drive on here players in front of him just losing their feet temporarily but they go again for us one dupon out the back from malva kick pass for Peno Damian Peno reels it in but Richie Mo with the cover tackle looks like he's put pen over the sideline yeah I think he's got I think he's got him Richie moonga goes low and takes the legs out of p no he loses the ball forward we'll show you one angle to confirm here you go kick here's your best angle yako nothing on the big screen for us it's coming to you now he loses the ball forward before the line we've got one more [Applause] angle the line so that's it's actually a line out black ball he loses it the ball goes into touch touch what a tackle one and three from Richie MO D and Pen an outstanding Tri scorer 23 in his last 26 test there denied by the New Zealand fly half rep placement here for France anonio and WTI will go to the sideline they will be replaced by Jean Baptist grro who will take his spot on the loose head side of the scrum and Dorian aliger you two changes to for the All Blacks fasi will come on AET new replacing Ethan the as well so both coaches I want to see the receiver calling for some reinforcements up [Music] front so Cody Taylor still out there the old black hooker throws to Scott Barrett they competed the France they were close to stealing that one New Zealand Come Away With It with s leading by four but they've been under a lot of pressure use a no in the last 10 minutes or so most of the action's been down this end of the field they did get that second try to TOA here's [Applause] R franois cross there's Fletcher and number 18 malaka through the tackle of tupi nice one-handed catch from jalab his fiku dummy gaale fiku good tackle in the end from Scott Barrett dummy and Peno picks and goes for France offs the ball to D ball went backwards and doesn't penalty to France yeah doesn't have a they saying there was a push in the back I think somewhere the ball as dupon was trying to collect that ball maybe runs motion into the corner here we go well the crowd have been demanding this All Night Big Moment In this match France hot on attack but Sam white loock climbs High almost steals it for New Zealand MOA with a carry Flamel franois cross to change direction jalab MAA jalab Jan Peno France take the lead in Paris well it wasn't the original way they want did it get over the tri line from the line out New Zealand competed through Sam white look they go to the back door they finally find the mismatch goes around ADI but the timing of the pass from jalb there's the footwork there's the draw in play there's a players the motions and there's that try denied a few moments earlier but he more often than not comes away with the goods from test matches does I and Peno that's his 24th try in his last 27 test [Applause] matches it's just a noted Tri score that's what you want your Wingers scoring tries he's a big unit but jeez he's got great timing 75% for Ramos so far tonight from wide out Tom Ramos gets them on their feet once again France 16 New Zealand [Applause] [Music] 13 with a couple of changes Again Luke Jacobson on for the All Blacks and also s Tokyo jersey number 16 to New Zealand go long off the restart down to that man [Applause] aldri dup to Moana goes backwards here's Barrett chips high will Jordan's on the chase Ramos again climbs high and again he falls to the floor this time it is a penalty against New Zealand that wasn't a fair fight a fair contest in the year says the referee okay yako I'm about to show you foul play by the new to go through TMO process here to check the foul play okay this will be your best angle yako never get no he doesn't get off the ground and he lands on his side yet bunker number 14 the whole time out with your eyes on the ball you also have to get your timing right he's still on the floor he overruns under him it's a yellow card for will Jordan and you saw the signal from the referee it will also go to the bunker for review well I think the thing is because will Jordan is still on the ground even though he had eyes for the ball he's taken out the players's legs which is the foul play if he goes in the air and contest it that's fair contest so that's the right decision so the foul play review official will now look at that we'll have 8 minutes to look at all the Angles and decide whether it should be upgraded to a red card this is at the moment for France to just come off the back of a try now they've got the numerical Advantage they're coming in hard so what do the All Blacks do now the ones under press the other ones to make some [Music] tackles so [Music] van for France for y [Applause] [Music] Mor collapse France really feeling it now playing with a man up here he'll go back bringing it down illegally as the call first player and a play on the inside penalties compounding against New Zealand we saw this against South Africa a couple of weeks ago at Twickenham yeah be just in the attitude I think you go for the points myself after feeling the vibe and backing themselves looks like they might go to the corner oh now he's going to have a shot here the skip pointed at the post I think this is the smart move oh shot yeah they will kick a post Sam white loock his fellow teammate will no doubt Look to Him for leadership here yes the ball goes dead yeah t a fussy was the one highlighted pulling that down and that's clear and obvious right there big kick this one he's had some tough kicks tonight as Tomo r four of five but this one's the toughest of the lot so far as we approach through quarter time that one just slides by the right hand upright Serge Blanco shot absolute Legend s Blanco French and international R go to water break okay yako just to let you know the yellow card for the New Zealand player will remain as a yellow card option two degree of danger not high he lands on his side okay I'll remind you just in case so yeah as we approach the 60 Minute Mark players will take a water break it's been so hot in France this week Harris particularly I think New Zealand probably need this more than the French team do at the moment close definitely on the back of the home team New Zealand just the reset here the lines could have had two in this second half to do now for New Zealand so much of the game has been down the All Blacks into the field we're just waiting to hear the decision from the the bunker as to whether that will Jordan yellow will remain a yellow or it will be upgraded might be getting the information very shortly captain on it just feedback from the the bunker the yellow card remains a yellow card the level of danger is not high enough for a red card okay down on the side okay thank you so there you have it will Jordan will be allowed to come onto the field he'll be very relieved about that as will the alls little harush around the St the France after that water break the energy just slightly seeping out of the stadium there's New Zealand playing with 14 here try to come away with it Mark tillia they're going to keep it narrow here in New Zealand you can understand that and a great break from Scott Barrett there big tackle pen good Luke Jacobson good that's a a right winger on a Blindside flanker good quick hands from Tonga fasi here's Tokyo replacement hooker pick and go from Ari SA on a fussy again switcher play back to the short side here's Yuan Yuan he gets away from one inside forward back to the man he beat France W cross slightly fortunate that for France and here's Ramos they going to look to try and spread it with the one player Advantage is Gale Fu finds olivon big Ry back row up to the New Zealand 10m line there's Al to dupon got so much time the French scum half big clear out from tala fua tupon decides to kick barretts there Bowden Barrett cleverly off the outside of his boot making good yards puts it into touch oh that's a great kick from Bowden Barrett they haven't been able to exit too well numbers olivon one-handed again wins the lineup Jal to Von aldr in Midfield over counter from New Zealand looking for the turnover was Saia balls loose vilier tries to get away from Rani put him over the sideline but the ball remained in [Applause] field release New Zealand have possession then there's the ball don't M it there's the ball all the territories being down this end of the field just struggling to find a way to get the ball in French territory New Zealand trailing by three points Jal Bear's underneath it for France on the ball'll be dup who will kick this time since space on the near side has he overcooked it yes he has a rare mistake from dupon very rare normally so accurate maybe a bit of fatigue kicking in New Zealand won't mind this well here's a real bter in this French Squad that's coming on Paul to Wi just his fourth cap made his debut in the World Cup warm-ups he [Music] replaces France cross for France and a change at scrum half for New Zealand Finley Christie is out there for Aaron Smith 5 minutes still remaining on the yellow card for will Jordan the through the there's Christie with his first pass the barretts good chop tackle and it's dislodged possession as well and aldr onto it for France flicks it out for dup danger signs here for the All Blacks F little scoop ball to Ramos back to Dupo France keeping the ball alive chrisy just lifting the legs ofer got to be careful doing that to not rolling away New Zealand penalty Advantage France jalab T [Applause] foru you're in there 20 fine you're in there you just feel the physicality of this French team it's just starting to weigh on this all black outfit as their discipline or ill discipline that's forcing these indiscretions at the moment Al again just making things happen for France there's the tackle for mule then he got Gregory PS for not rolling away number eight that big left leg of tala fua perhaps contributed to that struggles just exiting in this whole game to be fair the game plan initially was to go wide to Y keep balling hand but they haven't really set themselves up to exit long so Ramos a very kickable position here looking to give France their biggest lead of the night Ramos again another three points France lead New Zealand 1913 what that does now New Zealand has to get a converted try to get into the lead only minutes left on this card so France's been good enough to they control their num miricle advantage and will New Zealand kick to compete here Barrett yes they do they go short from the restart Scott Barrett his brother does brilliantly learn that one in the backyard and taranaki on the dairy farm and chrisy working the Blindside to Barrett there's Jacobson for New Zealand Tokyo MOA short ball to papali can't hold on and Ramos is going to send it [Applause] downtown that's a tenth handling error for New Zealand in this game and playing with 14 bow and Barrett will find the security of the S line once again that's vakka thinking about the quick line out there numbers impressive the replacement hooker that's is jar good KN for him so far as well okay play just play with so much confidence these days this French team and outstanding record coming in 14 straight home wins they go a Flamel at the front of the lineup tupon kicks high for the chasing viler moan competes into the hands of svea does well the New Zealand Captain David har who's out there for New Zealand kick pass for tiia he's on a hatrick gets put to the ground and then going in with a turnover is arur Vel that's brilliant from the replacement midfielder great timing wasn't it from number 22 they go quick here front yeah they're going The Far Side it was intended for viler svea fortunately for New Zealand had one eye on it gets the ball away from contact back in field to Tunga fasi is Barrett game broking up slightly here that was going back it's a wobbly old kick and it's into the hands of D Peno he loses the handle into the hands of Finley Christie tries to kick the ball taken by Dupont will go back for the knock on yeah just a bit unst structure isn't it both teams looking for opportunity but now New Zealand up to their full compliment with Jordan back onto the field coming back okay there he is Will Jordan yellow card remainder yellow on review could he be the Difference Maker he'll no doubt want to make a difference having sat down for 10 minutes sare but wouldn't put it past him with his attacking ability we just saw a little bit of the skill though from David har number he's coming to the second five roll for the All Blacks a little kick pass and here's Brody retalic a late change onto the bench for New Zealand but what a player to bring on for Sam white loock one World Cup winner replacing another there Brady rellik will bring some starts that's for sure could have gone in this game in the starting lineup the coach decided to hold him back but under necessity with Sam King being ruled out pre kickoff brell comes to the bench and now he gets his Chance in This opener yeah Ian Foster head coach said during the week that guzzler as his nickname is was not happy with him because he wanted to play he wanted to start left him out of the 23 well he gets his chance now five set slightly unstable scrum there been a real contest allight hav't they the scrum French i' have to say winning that battle they've gotten two penalties hold those shape control in this department keep my mark starts with you it's not every day you can take off a 46 OD caps for another test match Centurion that's what New Zealand can do with her [Applause] [Applause] italic this crowd have been magnificent tonight they have cheered France all the way the team have got a six-point lead chrisy plays to moang cut out to Bowden Barrett that's a kick pass intended for will Jordan well read by Gavin viler on T shorter range little box kick off the base there bounces to Richie moonga jaili flat ball to Toyo Jacobson Tong of FY to markia little hitch kick on [Applause] Peno no brance wanted the turnover didn't get it here's Scott Barrett again he just got through a power of work this evening this his brother Bowden chip over the top a little long and it's into the hands of Ramos and now Jal stop jaili played only 40 minutes of rugby since injuring his hamstring in late May it's pretty slow chasing that kick as well jaler takes the mark yeah haril though he has got a very long kick that's the difference when he comes on to the field now this is just a slow play down you see the French team don't need to rush this other one's not chasing the game like New Zealand well they do F touch no they don't was from a free kick so he can't go out for it's in the 22 Yeah Yeah Kristoff rley on the near side said it was out in the full but2 overall by his referee did hit the line but he was kick it's a start kick so not understand same with the kick off allow to do that but it will be a New Zealand feed to the lineup 11 11 block and another change for New Zealand it's Leicester find guku who will come on the field four exit of number 11 only scored two tries [Music] markia 23er ralic wins his first lineup sa again with the carry flicked on by Jacobson to ralic picked up by Toyah the man from the Chiefs franchise high kick from MOA will Jordan's got to be careful here as Ramos hits the deck [Applause] again bu just the penalty laser likee pass from DuPont fiku goes behind malva peny and they're going to go back and the referee says just a penalty but will Jordan goodness me having already been in the in been for 10 minutes you thought he might just have left that one well alone that's mitigation so just the penalty well he live it was an interesting one wasn't it I think maybe just cuz he left the air we don't see push we say we use as something I've noticed though in this game the retreating players from France will stop decision sort of create space for the jumper coming through watch The Shadow see V just stopped in Jordan's way and lost his footing there's nothing will Jordan can do about that that's more V's fault than anything yeah did viler changed Direction there exactly 100% I've done it twice in this game because your player saw Su vonal the Australian right winger get a yellow penalized last week for that kind of incident there's the penalties conceded from New Zealand 11 to4 discipline's been a problem Ramos from distance they'll try and make this a two-score game Tom Ramos from long range adds another three points for France 2213 they lead in control now of the World Cup opener now New Zealand have to play they have to get out of their own then and they have to chance there arm two scores down ALR as he's done many times tonight runs it back 13 17 points for hmar Ramos tonight and the try to Damian Peno Moana cleverly stays in field to take that kick here's Bowden Barrett thinks about dishing it inside but kicks again stop these back three players on both teams have done an enormous amount kicking this evening but New Zealand with work to do might choose to have a go here here's Jordan Christie Barrett Bowden that is release looking to strip the ball away [Applause] papali will Jordan France get the penalty New Zealand sealing it off and Off to the Races as on malaka for France he's been outstanding since he's come on and he came on early no more no dupon flicks it out the back to tala fua jalab kicks it through for Peno damy and penno Ball's gone forward referee's blown his whistle it'll be an all black speed to the scrum I'll tell you what PTO moaka has been a game changer I think since he's been introduced early into this game the confidence of the hooker to take that quick TI he was isolated for a very long time was strong enough well Kristoff Ridley the assistant on the near side I think he adjudicated that perfectly just a tiny little knock on for Darian Peno before it went off the hands of the New Zealand player there'll be another change for France here Maxim lucu is going to come on for antoan dupon and also melden jaman in the 23 shirt he will replace tomat Ramos and those two dupal and Ramos too teammates are worthy of this round of the [Music] [Applause] max 23 back so inside the final 5 minutes now with this pulsating World Cup opener here in Paris New Zealand scored right at the start of the match then at the start of the second half but France have imposed themselves with authority as this match has gone on Rico Yani playing out of their own 22 again New Zealand they have to do this a lot tonight Oden Barrett has kicked it into touch and France with a two-score lead won't think about going quickly this time now the game management has been fantastic this evening the home team obviously Dupont has better at the Forefront of that but Ramos also be I think he's been fantastic in jersey number 10 the first five [Applause] let play tonight we are 7869 fans thank you very much just announce the attendance here Full House a shy 79,000 here in the St of [Applause] France I Reon it might be tough to get a ticket to watch this team play from this point if they can close this out against New Zealand it was already a big show this Rugby World Cup but if they can finish the job here against New Zealand no it will set the tone for this Rugby World Cup just the way they want it remember New Zealand never lost a pool game in a Rugby World Cup France had never beaten them at pool play now they are on the edge of History here the home team in game one looku The Finisher at scrum half kicks it deep well taken over the shoulder from Bowden Barrett he's got support with him should they choose to run and they sort of need to two scores down inside 3 minutes and they've lost possession again here and look who just going to dink it in behind Melvin J chasing jaman that should do it that should seal it France starting their home Rugby World Cup just the way they wanted to they' been industrious the second half in particular here's the turnover at the breakdown from vinant they shift it to The Blindside quickly nice recognition from luu but the dedication to put the body on the line and that's the exclamation mark on a fantastic opening performance well he's known as a goal kicker Melvin Jam he scored 20 points against New Zealand when they beat them here two years ago in this Stadium that's his first test try and what a time to do it come on and make an impact and say coach yeah I'm good that's how you [Applause] finish well just soak up these images here as the shy scorers Ying [Applause] back we'll attempt the conversion here to add the extra te well hang on one flag went up one didn't referee yako paper says no conversions 27 to Caron Ana there's been some great performances from FR tonight who's your player of the match well I think you can't go past Gregory aldr for the home team in jersey number eight has been fantastic at the Forefront of everything that's been good whether it be defensively or offensively he's been an absolute monster in jersey number eight Gregory alud as is that man who really misses out on the action d feno ald still out there he's standing in the Midfield at the moment what can't he do as retalic wins the line out 2913 France leading New Zealand his big Leicester fuku on Tokyo no the ball hardi svea who led the All Blacks out but the stab the France this evening still driving the leg surveyor but he's lost the ball and perhaps that sums it up for New Zealand that is the final whistle France are up and running at their home World Cup they have beaten the All Blacks and for the first time in history New Zealand lose a pool game at a Rugby World Cup the World Cup 23 29 3 a confident performance from the hosts and that sets the tone for what promises to be a marvelous tournament here in France
