The last time the two sides met was during last year's Northern Tour, with France edging out a 30-29 victory. It was a performance that offered so much promise but deteriorated to a deflating defeat in Paris for the All Blacks. Returning to the scene of the 2023 World Cup final loss, the All Blacks carried momentum and confidence from victories over England and Ireland to summon a supremely dominant first half and leave France there for the taking. The All Blacks weren't helped by several perplexing decisions from Georgian referee Nika Amashukeli – and one baffling TMO decision for a neck roll from replacement prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi – but so, too, were they their own worst enemies with multiple errors proving costly. Following wins in 2023 and in 2021, France have recorded three victories in succession over the All Blacks. Christopher Reive joined the Herald sports team in 2017, bringing the same versatility to his coverage as he does to his sports viewing habits.
