2025 New Zealand All Blacks vs France - Men's

Ardie Savea, Will Jordan Lead All Blacks To Destruction Of France Rugby

Ardie Savea, Will Jordan Lead All Blacks To Destruction Of France Rugby

New Zealand led 29-3 at halftime and never looked back, as France was overpowered all night in Wellington.

New Zealand All Blacks vs. France Highlights

Perhaps the rust has worn off of the black jerseys the New Zealand rugby team wears. 

The All Blacks were pushed to the brink by a young France team lacking its normal setup of superstars in the first match of the three-match summer test series, but New Zealand wound up winning, but just 31-27. 

Match 2?

Yeah, it was never that close. 

Ardie Savea, the No. 1 rugby player in the world, according to FloRugby, scored the match’s first try and gave the All Blacks a 10-0 lead. Then, it was 29-3 at halftime. 

France looked like the squad many expected when the team arrived in New Zealand, as the All Blacks' talent overwhelmed Les Bleus in a 43-17 win in Wellington, New Zealand, at Sky Stadium on July 12. 

Lately, Wellington had been a house of horrors for the All Blacks, with two losses and two draws in the last four matches. The last win came in 2018.

The series with France concludes July 19 at FMG Stadium in Waikato, Hamilton. That match is streaming live on FloRugby and the FloSports app in the United States.

All Blacks Vs. France: About Last Week 

The All Blacks only gave up three penalties and won 20 line-outs against France. They also had a pair of tries wiped off the board. So, perhaps the four-point score is a bit misleading?
