HT and anyone's game! A point about right, neither side gaining an upper hand. NZ for me the more lively team
Can they maintain that liveliness through the insane heat though
God its a boring game to watch though. The crowd are making some of it seem a bit exciting but its been pretty dire rugby so far. Lots of slow caterpillar rucks for a box kick from the French, then a bunch of force back for a while before going to a lineout.
Just editing to make it clear I dont think NZ are doing much better. They're playing a bit more rugby but not exactly doing much once they get a half break. That Taylor pass to touch just before half time was a pretty good summary of where they're at.
Both sides afraid to lose. An early try to set it alight please
