The Morning After: All Blacks vs France Post-Mortem

Martin Devlin and Jamie Wall are live from Christchurch the morning after the All Blacks opened the Dave Rennie era with a thrilling 34-32 victory over France. After sleeping on the result, they break down the good, the bad and the genuinely concerning. The All Blacks scored five tries and showed a clear new attacking intent, but defensive lapses, discipline issues and four French tries ensured this was far from a complete performance. The pair assess Ruben Love’s night at number 10, Luke Jacobson’s standout performance, Will Jordan on the wing, the impact of the bench and whether this side has already moved forward from last season. Plus, reaction to the rest of the opening Nations Championship round, including South Africa’s big win over England, Ireland edging Australia and Scotland’s stunning victory in Argentina.
