Elliott Smith: Newstalk ZB Rugby Correspondent on the All Blacks loss to France - Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

This morning watched the first Rugby World Cup match of 2023 play out, the All Blacks versing France at Stade de France. 

France beat the All Blacks 27-13, ending their run of 31 straight wins in the pool stage. 

Newstalk ZB’s rugby correspondent Elliott Smith told Jack Tame that it was a real testament to their game management.  

He said that in the first half it seemed like the All Blacks had all the momentum, but the French never let them in in that second half.
