Match Commentary

81'		FULL TIME ANALYSIS ESPN's Rob Bartlett had this to say: "We expected a New Zealand bloodbath against Namibia, Tonga and maybe Georgia in the pool stages but certainly not against France in this World Cup quarterfinal. Finally, the All Blacks have shown why they are favoured to become the first nation to retain the Webb Ellis trophy. This wasn't just a destruction, it was a brutal obliteration of Philippe Saint-Andre's side in front of a shellshocked Millennium Stadium. After Picamoles was binned for a closed fist on McCaw, the floodgates well and truly opened. Savea notched another World Cup hat trick while replacement Kerr-Barlow made the French backline look like a bunch of Ken Barlow's. 2007 is but a distant memory for both of these sides and Steve Hansen will no doubt be licking his lips at this performance. " Well, that was one sided. #NZL beat #FRA 62-13. Ruthless, brilliance. #NZLvFRA #RWC2015 — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) October 17, 2015
81'+1		62-13 End of second half
80'		Nonu, what a fumble that was! Runs nearly half the pitch with the ball in hand before voluntarily falling right on the try line and drops the ball. Teammates smile. Think he'll be on the receiving end of a few jokes this week in training... Scrum to see the game out, France in hand.
