Match Commentary

82'Thank you for joining our live commentary for game one between the All Blacks and France. What can we expect in game two in Wellington? Will France come back? Or will it be more of the same from the All Blacks?
81'Champagne rugby for the All Blacks! France were in the match in the first half, but a controversial yellow card took the wind out of their sails and the All Blacks ran riot scoring seven tries, while France were kept scoreless.
