All Blacks v France player ratings - How the All Blacks rated in first test win
Made the most of the starting role and the few scrums. High work rate in first half and made nine tackles to round out a decent outing.
4. Scott Barrett - 7
Big work-rate and even got a charge down in for good measure. Left the field after 57 minutes with an Achilles injury.
5. Fabian Holland - 8
A fine debut in a strong 80-minute effort. How often do you see that from a new lock? Earns another test to see if we have the new Brodie Retallick. Led the All Blacks with 17 tackles and also had 13 carries.
6. Tupou Vaa'i - 7
The move to the side of the scrum is worth trying again after a commendable effort. Won a turnover and secured a try.
7. Ardie Savea - 8
A quiet start but then made his mark. Not a big test on the defensive end but, as he did all Super Rugby season, an endless supply of hit-ups, leading the match with 19 carries.
8. Christian Lio-Willie - 7
A busy 50-minute debut. Good play in lead-up to the first Will Jordan try, sucking in French defenders. Even had a strip. Was one of leading tacklers when he left the field, replaced by Kirifi.
9. Cam Roigard - 8
The All Blacks had five different halfbacks last year, but the nine jersey is locked in until the 2027 World Cup final. Great dummy and assist to set up opening no-try for Jordie. Quick pass for Vaa'i try. Also had a try-saving tackle. A shame we're not seeing him up against Antoine Dupont.
10. Beauden Barrett - 7
Probably didn't meet his high standards at No 10. Missed a high ball. An impressive chase down tackle in France's first try. Classy assist for first Jordan try. Failed to find touch from a penalty in a mixed kicking night with just nine kick attempts compared to 15 carries, breaking four tackles, but perfect off the tee.
11. Rieko Ioane - 5
The shift to the wing will remain a talking point, much like his replacement in the 13 jersey. He saw more ball in the first half and at least tried to get involved when ball was coming his way in the second.
12. Jordie Barrett - 7
Ahh, the benefits of a sabbatical. Great to see him back on New Zealand soil. Was denied a try before eventually going over. A threat on attack and reliable in defence, so not much has changed during Leinster sojourn.
13. Billy Proctor - 5
Answer at centre? The question remains. Missed tackle in lead-up to France's opening try. Poor pass ended an All Blacks attacking opportunity. Good hands before Jordie Barrett's try.
14. Sevu Reece - 4
Didn't last a minute after early head injury from tackle attempt.
15. Will Jordan 7
Moved to wing early after Reece left the field. Scored a try, as he does. Then scored another, as he does. Nice play in the lead-up to Jordie Barrett try. Wing or fullback, he will still make an impact.
Reserves:
16. Samisoni Taukei'aho - 5
17. Ollie Norris - 5
18. Pasilio Tosi - 6
19. Samipeni Finau - 5
20. Du'Plessis Kirifi - 5
21. Cortez Ratima - 5
22. Quinn Tupaea - 6
23. Damian McKenzie - 7
On in first minute for Reece. Threw intercept on attack. Attacking moves set up Vaa'i try. Led the match in running metres with 90 and six defenders beaten.

All Blacks v France: The good, the bad and the ugly
All Blacks v France Kick-off: 7:05pm Saturday 12 July Sky Stadium, Wellington Live blog updates on RNZ Analysis - With about 20 minutes to go in Saturday night's test match, it's fair to say quite a few of the 30,000-strong crowd at Forsyth Barr Stadium were glad that France hadn't brought their A team. Or even their B team for that matter, as the result hung in the balance until the final couple of minutes that saw the All Blacks prevail 31-27 . This was a pretty unique test match, one where the opposition won enough respect to subdue the normally vociferous response to an All Black performance that didn't yield a one-sided hiding. France were brave, calculated and slick, but it's also fair to say the All Blacks certainly had their moments too. Here's what else we learned: Beauden Barrett. Photo: Peter Meecham / Kicking a penalty and backing the defence and discipline to win the game was a real statement at the end. The All Blacks, who by then were being led by Ardie Savea, were comfortable enough to let France try and attack them for the last stages because by then the visitors had run out of ideas. The key was to not give away any cheap penalties and therefore an attacking lineout, which never even looked like happening. The attacking shape, when it worked, was really nice. Will Jordan's first try was a lovely fold around with Ethan de Groot running a perfect front door line, while Tupou Vaa'i's effort was off a more broken bit of play that Damian McKenzie danced his way through, and Jordie Barrett's came off a very nice touch from his brother in the lead up. Beauden Barrett was perfect off the tee, the first time in a while that an All Black kicker has achieved that feat. They weren't easy either, with three conversions and a penalty near the touchline. This is very heartening given how good McKenzie's kicking form was on last year's northern tour as well. Rieko Ioane of New Zealand and Theo Attissogbe of France compete for the ball. Photo: Peter Meecham / Sevu Reece's injury was so early on it may as well have meant the reshuffle it caused had been the starting team, but it also meant that the All Blacks suddenly had two out and out finishers on the wings instead of Reece's usual role as a trouble maker around the ruck. It clearly took them a while to adjust to this both on attack and defence, something that shouldn't be an issue when the two players in question are Jordan and Rieko Ioane. France's kicking game was just simply better in the first half, with Nolan Le Garrec's pinpoint accuracy seeing the ball come down perfectly to contest. That is not going to change next weekend, so they had better improve that aspect. Gabin Villiere's try was through a huge hole left by two players pinching in on a French block runner, while Cameron Woki's effort was through some softness on the edge of the ruck. Again, this is fixable but not a great look from some players far too experienced to be committing those lapses. Ardie Savea discusses a try that was later disallowed with referee Nic Berry. Photo: Peter Meecham / It said a lot that the biggest cheer of the night was for a witty young man in the crowd holding up a sign saying 'should've gone to Specsavers'. This was after what should have been Jordan's third try was rubbed out by the TMO for obstruction, and the third overall in the game. While all the calls were correct, we once again had to have the game grind to a halt while the officiating crew had a long, boring conversation with one another - and now we'll probably talk about it all week too. Speaking of unhelpful discourse, the years' worth of trash talking the quality of the French team really came back to bite a few pundits. Yes, our knowledge of French rugby is low because we can't actually see it here but calling them 'disrespectful' and 'farcical' was a big call, and one that's likely to change rapidly in the build up to the now very intriguing second test in Wellington.
