    It's all a bit messy in midfield and it ends with Lucu hammering a loose ball downfield.

    New Zealand manage to race back and secure the ball, and clear it back up the park.

    Ardie Savea is given a talking to by Luke Pearce after another high shot on a French player.

    It's just a warning, but they have to be careful now.

    Matthieu Jalibert dinks the ball through and McKenzie has to race in to stop a near-certain French try.

    It's brought back for a penalty advantage for a high tackle on Tom Staniforth.

    We've just heard that the yellow card for Ruben Love will stay just that.

    So New Zealand will be back to their full compliment in about two minutes or so.

    If you don't drink coffee and you ever need a wake up, just replay the opening eight minutes of this.

    What a breathless start.

    The All Blacks hit right back! What a start to this one!

    Ardie Savea goes quickly from the penalty and it leaves France scrambling.

    It's spread wide for Will Jordan, who flies over in the corner despite the best efforts of Theo Attissogbe.

    Damian McKenzie is off target from the conversion, so France still lead.

    Oscar Jegou is up to steal the line out!

    It's a big moment, but France then give away another penalty from their own ball on the floor.

    The All Blacks finally get their hands on the ball and have worked their way into the 22.

    Maxime Lucu manages to being down Ardie Savea, which is a bit of a mismatch but he gets the job done.

    There's another phase or two before Jefferson Poirot is pinged for not rolling away, and it's popped into the corner.

    Seven points down and a man down inside three minutes.

    Love is sent to the bin for a bunker review. His shoulder definitely caught Penaud, so he can't have too many complaints.

    Ouch.

    To make things worse for the hosts, Ruben Love is being reviewed for a high hit on Penaud earlier in the move.

    Luke Pearce is chatting to his TMO.

    Converted Try - New Zealand 0-7 Francepublished at 2 mins

    Damian Penaud (Maxime Lucu)

    The hosts are stunned!

    It's so, so easy for France as they work it through the hands and Penaud, in off his right wing, dances through a gap and gallops over the line.

    Maximu Lucu converts, and it's a wonder start for France.
