France extended their winning streak over the All Blacks to three games in a tightly match in Paris.
Despite early dominance from Scott Robertson’s All Blacks, including Peter Lakai’s first international try and Cam Roigard’s score, France clawed back with standout performances from debutant Romain Buros, a maul try by Paul Boudehent, and Louis Bielle-Biarrey’s electrifying ninth international try.
Fly-halves Thomas Ramos and Damian McKenzie traded penalties in a kicking duel, with Ramos’ 15-point haul proving decisive.
