However, the French took the lead early in the second session in front of an enthusiastic 82,000 spectators. Paul Boudehent (44′) and Louis Bielle-Biarrey (51′) both scored incredible goals, giving Les Bleus a crucial 24-17 advantage.

With Thomas Ramos and Damian McKenzie exchanged penalties till the finish of a furious Test match, they refused to give up the edge. After victories against England and Ireland, the All Blacks suffered their first loss of the European tour by the smallest of margins. Scott Robertson’s All Blacks must regroup from this heartbreaking defeat before travelling to Turin to play Italy on Saturday when France returns to the Stade de France to play Argentina on Friday night.

France 30-29 New ZealandWith perhaps their greatest performance since that setback, France seemed to have moved over their tight 29-28 quarterfinal loss to South Africa at the World Cup in Paris a year ago. Fabien Galthie’s team recovered well from their first-half struggles in the scrum and line-out, and they were likely deserving of their victory over a confident All Blacks team that had just won late triumphs over England and Ireland. Despite their lone Six Nations loss to Ireland last year, France will be determined to improve on their second-place finish behind Andy Farrell’s team this year. News for The Daily Rugby

The All Blacks flanker put up another explosive powerhouse performance, applauding the home players and unable to control his emotions after losing. He said to TNT Sports, “We are really disappointed.” “We gave it our best to win the game, but we made careless errors and gave the ball away, and a good team will punish you for it, which is exactly what they did.

I’m quite devastated.You must give them credit, of course. In the first half, we were fairly precise and felt in control. We just allowed them to enter the game in the second half. We were unable to withstand the pressure they put on us. I feel proud even if I am really disappointed.

FRANCE 3-14 NEW ZAELAND 27′ TRY! New Zealand is very clinical as Cam Roigard steals the ball from Alldritt and turns to gallop over after cashing in on a wayward play at the scrum. It appeared as though France might break out, but Beauden Barrett’s two goals put the All Blacks up by two points.

FRANCE 17-17 NEW ZAELAND 44′ TRY! And early in the second half, the game is suddenly equal. There has been a significant change in momentum. Before Ramos floats over the conversion, Boudehent scores the try with a crucial line-out victory five yards out and the maul. Indeed, it’s game on.

52′ TRY! 24–17 France, New Zealand Well, as France unexpectedly surges ahead in this match, the atmosphere has totally changed. The home team takes the lead before Ramos converts as Bordeaux winger Bielle-Biarrey rushes onto the Ramos kick after Vaa’i’s offload goes nowhere. This is a hit with the French crowd!

73′ FRANCE IS PENALISED! This time, New Zealand faces a formidable obstacle. The guy in the dock, Ofa Tu’ungafasi, shakes his head. surpasses Ramos’ three to extend the advantage to four. 75′ A CLOSE FINALE IS WHAT THIS MATCH IS GOING FOR. After France was given a penalty for foul play, McKenzie this time drills over the penalty close inside the home half. The French are ahead 30-29.
