France Triumphs Over New Zealand in Autumn Nations Thriller
France edged New Zealand in a thrilling encounter at Stade de France, securing a 30-29 victory that marks their third consecutive win over the All Blacks. The match, part of the Autumn Nations Series, showcased a dramatic second-half comeback from the French side, which had trailed 17-10 at the break.
New Zealand started strong, with Peter Lakai scoring their opening try just nine minutes into the match, followed by scrum-half Cam Roigard adding another with an interception. Despite early struggles, France clawed back, with Romain Buros scoring on his Test debut just before halftime to narrow the gap to 14-10.
The hosts came out firing in the second half, with Paul Boudehent scoring a try and Louis Bielle-Biarrey adding another soon after, giving France a 24-17 lead. New Zealand’s Damian McKenzie, who made a significant impact off the bench, kept the pressure on with accurate kicking, scoring four penalties to bring the All Blacks within striking distance.
Thomas Ramos was instrumental for France, contributing 15 points with three conversions and three penalties. As the tense final minutes unfolded, both teams traded penalties, but France held their nerve to secure the narrow victory.
This win underscores France’s growing confidence as they prepare for upcoming challenges, including a match against Argentina, while New Zealand will seek to bounce back against Italy next week.
